Senator Natasha H Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central senatorial district, has distributed 600 bags of 50kg rice to her constituents to alleviate their burden of purchasing food during the Easter season. The distribution, which cuts across party lines, targeted various groups including religious bodies, market women, vulnerable people, forums, and party faithful across the 57 wards of the five local government areas in the senatorial district.
The beneficiaries included religious bodies, market women, vulnerable people, forums, and party faithful amongst others. Speaking during the distribution programme at the senator's residence in Okehi local government, former House of Representatives Member, Hon. Abdulrahman Badamasiu, urged constituents to continue to support and pray for Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, especially during the occasion of the festive period.
"She will continue to bring democratic dividends to the people despite her illegal suspension by the Senate," Hon. Badamasiu said. The gesture by Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is seen as a demonstration of her commitment to the welfare of her constituents, and a reflection of her leadership style that prioritizes the needs of the people.
The distribution of rice to constituents is a welcome development, especially during the Easter season, and is expected to go a long way in alleviating the economic burden on the beneficiaries. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's gesture has been widely appreciated by the people of Kogi Central senatorial district, who see her as a dedicated public servant who is committed to their welfare.
