While speaking on the reason behind the palliative market initiative, Primate Ayodele stated that it’s a way to assist the government and to show them that there is hardship in the country. He made it known that his ministry will continue with the palliative market till hardship reduces in Nigeria.

‘’We won’t stop our palliative market till the economy of Nigeria is better. This is our own way of assisting the government because truly, they can’t do it alone. We are also passing a message to the government that there is serious hardship in the country and that there is a need to work on solutions to mitigate this perilous moment.’’

‘’If the government can embrace this kind of initiative and crash the price of food items in the country, hardship will reduce drastically and the people will prefer it. The current prices of food items are causing anguish and pain, the government should do something about it.’’
