In a gesture of goodwill and solidarity during the holy month of Ramadan, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has donated 7,000 bags of rice to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State. The donation aims to alleviate the economic challenges faced by the party's supporters during this special season of fasting and reflection.
The distribution of the rice packages was officially launched in Gusau, the state capital, where Tinubu’s representatives gathered with APC members and supporters to witness the handover. The symbolic gesture underscores the President’s commitment to supporting the welfare of Nigerians, particularly those in the party's strongholds, as well as fostering unity and harmony within the APC ranks.
The 7,000 bags of rice are part of a broader initiative by the Tinubu administration to provide assistance to those in need during Ramadan, a time of charity, community support, and spiritual reflection. Speaking at the event, the President’s representative highlighted the significance of this gesture, emphasizing that it is an expression of empathy and a reflection of the administration’s commitment to improving the lives of citizens.
“This gesture is a testament to our commitment to the welfare of our people, especially during a time when Ramadan calls us to reflect on our shared values of compassion and charity,” the representative said. “We understand the challenges that many Nigerians face, and this is just one of the many steps we are taking to ensure that no one is left behind.”
The rice distribution is expected to provide much-needed relief to APC members and their families, many of whom have faced difficulties due to inflation and other economic pressures. The donation is also seen as a move to strengthen the bond between the party leadership and its grassroots supporters.
The event saw the presence of prominent APC figures in Zamfara, as well as other stakeholders who commended the President's efforts in ensuring that party members are not left out of the government’s social support initiatives. The distribution process was carried out smoothly, with measures in place to ensure transparency and fairness.
