Reject Bisi Fayemi's Sanitary Pads - Group To Ondo School Girls

Schoolgirls in Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State have been told to reject the sanitary pads being distributed by the wife of Ekiti State Governor, Erelu Bisi Fayemi.

A sociopolitical group, the Ondo Progressives Movement (OPM) which made this call on Sunday, raised the alarm that the sanitary pads being distributed by Governor Fayemi’s wife could have spiritual motives that may not be unconnected to the 2022 governorship election in Ekiti State and her husband’s presidential ambition.

According to Comrade Olamide Adeyemi, the group’s Spokesperson, distribution of sanitary pads, especially to schools girls, by a governor’s wife, who holds the spiritual title of Erelu, is suspicious.

Fayemi’s wife, yesterday, at Ilara-Mokin, Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State, distributed sanitary pads among women and ladies within puberty age, claiming it was meant to prevent the spread of infections.

Wondering why a governor’s wife would choose to distribute sanitary pads to school girls, most of whom were virgins at this time of economic hardship instead of providing food, the group said it was not against politicians rendering help to the people of the state, especially schoolgirls, but will not allow the future of the people to be jeopardized through diabolical gifts like sanitary pads.

It said Yoruba people all over the world were aware of what mensuration can be used for, spiritually and as such, will not sit back and allow desperate politicians to use our daughters to advance their ambitions.

The group counseled that if Erelu Bisi Fayemi is genuinely desirous of helping the people, especially the schoolgirls, she should empower them so that they could feed themselves and be able to buy sanitary pads for themselves.
