While the 40 bags per wards were purchased at N32,000 per bag, the rice for state distribution were purchased from ‘Egbe Olowo of Osun state at N36,000 per bag, a price still below similar transaction by the previous government.
It would be recalled that the previous administration purchased rice distributed last year at forty thousand naira per bag, a narration the new government has changed by direct purchase and transparent distribution process.
To affirm its committment to transparency, Governor Adeleke ordered that the composition of committee for the distribution of the rice and targeted beneficiaries must be from all sectors in osun state.

His Excellency affirms that this administration is not a thieving government like that of his predecessor and he remains committed to cushioning the effect of the hard time on all sections of Osun society.
It is therefore shameless lie and false reports to claim only PDP members are benefiting or that the Sure-P fund was diverted. It is also pure falsehood to claim Heads of Local Government Administration are denied their entitlements. All issues pertaining to entitlements of public servants are been attended to by the relevant offices.
Osun people can bear witness that the family of His Excellency has consistently distributed food items to Osun people for the past several decades. The philanthropic family with one of its own as the State Governor is determined to elevate the tradition of giving as a state policy.
We therefore assure Osun people that the Adeleke administration is not a thieving government and will not in anyway follow the path of the past. All actions so far taken and that will be taken are in line with due process, state regulations and extant laws.
