In a heartwarming gesture, First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has donated 1000 bags of 50kg rice to the Kogi chapter of the Christian Northern Nigeria Political Forum. This act of kindness aims to bring joy and happiness to Nigerians during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The donation was made to support the Christian community in Kogi State, with the rice set to be distributed across the 21 local government councils. According to Elder Ibrahim Itodo, Deputy National Coordinator of the forum, the gesture will help cushion the economic reality faced by Christians during the yuletide season.
The Christian Northern Nigeria Political Forum was formed in response to the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in the last election. However, the forum's primary focus is on promoting good governance, capacity, competence, and character, which the present APC administration embodies. The forum's support for the APC presidency was largely due to the First Lady's commitment to Christianity and her potential to bring a sense of morality and compassion to the administration.
Hon. Mohammed Kabir Ajana, a former House of Representatives member, commended the First Lady's effort, stating that the palliative would alleviate the economic burden on Christian communities in the state. He encouraged Nigerians to remain supportive of the government's policies and programs, despite the current hardship, as the country is working towards a brighter future.
The state Coordinator of the forum, Madueke Aphraim, praised the First Lady as a caring and loving mother, whose donation would significantly reduce the financial burden on beneficiaries during the festive season. The forum assured that the rice would be distributed meticulously to major Christian stakeholders across the state.
