By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo –
The Renewed Hope Ambassadors in Osun State have distributed 1,600 bags of 50kg rice to Muslim and Christian groups in the state as part of activities marking the Ramadan and Lenten seasons.
The beneficiaries include labour unions, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), and ethnic groups, including Hausa, Igbo and Igala communities, among others.
Speaking during the distribution exercise held at the Tinubu-Shettima campaign office in Osogbo on Thursday, the Osun State Coordinator of the group, Hon. Sunday Akere, said the gesture was intended to ensure that beneficiaries could partake in the Eid-al-Fitr and Easter celebrations.
Akere said, “The Muslims have fasted for 30 days and, to the glory of God, Eid-al-Fitr will be celebrated, and our proprietor deemed it fit to reach out to them in the spirit of giving and to ensure that every home enjoys the Eid celebration.
”Also, the Christians are fasting and it will last for 40 days, after which we will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and President Bola Tinubu would not want less privileged persons to be left behind in these celebrations.
”To this end, we are distributing 1,600 bags of 50kg rice to Muslim communities, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), labour unions, student groups, ethnic groups, among many others.”
