The Chairman of Southern Senators Forum, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele has
began distribution of bags of rice and other gifts to all indigenes of
Ekiti state in 177 wards ahead of Christmas celebration.
Opeyemi in a statement issued by the media Office directed that the
Christmas gifts must be distributed to everyone that shows up at the
distribution centers across the state.
According to the statement, the distribution of rice and other gifts
should not be misconstrued as the campagin strategy , but as
fundamental principle upon which Christmas is predicated which all
about sharing and giving.
The statement reads in part, “The spirit of the season requires every
one of us to give out, share love and happiness.
“Based on this fundamental and social tradition Senator Michael
Opeyemi Bamidele is embarking on sharing of Christmas gifts across the
Sixteen Local Government Areas in Ekiti State.
“The distribution itself is however not limited to party members alone
as it is targeted at the right sector of the social order who may not
be able to comprehend the demands and pressure of the moment.
“The distribution is done through the Ward Chairmen and Local
Government Chairmen who represent the general public to ascertain
appropriateness in distribution. These are the pickup points and
people should take advantage of them and share with MOB in this period
of Christmas.”
