Sighting what the twitter user — Joyce Karam wrote, Mr Gboyega replied telling her, her tweet is incorrect as the Governor has spent his PERSONAL and state resources to get food palliative for vulnerable Lagosians even before covid-19.

Joyce Karam had tweeted; ”Protestors in #Nigeria discovered today a warehouse of Covid19 food aid in Lagos that was meant for people but is locked by Gov. Worsening economic conditions, bad governance are main reasons behind #EndSars movement”

Mr Gboeyega immediately replied;

”This is falsehood. This is inciting. The Gov didn’t lock the food packs in. They’re in warehouse for distribution. Stop inciting Nigerians. Gov. @jidesanwoolu used his personal and State resources to get food palliative for vulnerable Lagosians even b4 Ca-COVID. Promote peace”.
