“I want to first thank our President Bola Tinubu because this is his ward, and I want to thank him for the activities and the events that have been taking place throughout the country.

Today we share the palliative, which is really palliative, to subsidise those that have been lamenting of hunger, to make sure at least little has been given to them to be able to handle what they have at home.

That is why we decided to call the people of our ward to make sure things have been given to them, because we know we are in the month of Ramadan and Lenten period so this little package, will go a long way.

“It’s not because this is President Ward. It’s going on generally, and this is not the first time these things have been done in the ward.

“A lot of programmes have been taking place all over the place. I’m just saying that we appreciate him for making us proud by giving the residents food items at this period,” he said.

“So we really appreciate him very much. We pray to God to give him a long life so that in the next election he will win again because he has done a lot for us.

And we also use this opportunity to thank our Vice Chairman Abisola Omishore, when we call them for this anything they answer, we really enjoy them, also my appreciation to our Councilor Lawal.

“This item is going to help us, seriously, because now we are fasting as I’m talking now, I’m fasting. At the same time I’m a widow, so this food will really help me a lot.
