Christmas has been for long, a festival of sharing and giving out of gift items to the people. It is an occasion set aside to put smiles unto the faces of the people and also to thank God for His Mercies and blessings over us.
In politics, this is the festive period, when love is shown to the party members for their strong support throughout the year by doling out various gift items to them.
The Commissioner for Finance and Chief Economic Adviser to Ogun State Governor, Hon. Oladapo Abdul-Rahman Okuboyejo, a Muslim, have been a pillar of succour provider to the people of Ijebu Ode Local Government. He has been giving out gift items to the people during the festival periods sparing over four (4) years. He has done it again this year. He always do his best to make the people happy in Ijebu Ode and its environ.
Hon. Bakare Omolola Serifat Olanrewaju, the Chief Whip, Ogun State House of Assembly, a Muslim, representing Ijebu Ode State Constituency showed her love and gratitude to the people of Ijebu Ode by distributing hampers and donation of bags of rice to the wards. The gift items worth over a million was given out to the people in order for them to be happy this yuletide.
Hon. Kolapo Korede Osunsanya (KKO), also in his character, remembered people from his Constituency through donations of money and other items to them. He has been doing this year in year out. Making people happy has been his hobby.
If these people could do this during the economic crunch cutting across the country, I don't see any reason why they should not be praised and celebrated.
There are many of our party members holding positions both in the State and Local Government that could not spend a token on the people that fought tooth and nail for our noble party, APC, to emerge as the winner in the last Elections. They are not even ashamed to collect from the little that is meant for the struggling party members in Ijebu Ode.
Alhaji Surajudeen Logere, the APC Ag. Chairman Ijebu Ode Local Government and his cabinet members did a lot in facilitating this gestures to the people. The events expresses their clear attitude of not being greedy, selfish nor too proud to serve the people. Alhaji Surajudeen Logere, in his usual character, can go to any length to put smiles unto the faces of the people.
On this note, I want to thank those that have contributed in the distribution of gift items to the people of APC Ijebu Ode Local Government for them to celebrate this festival with happiness. God will continue to guide and protect you all. You and your family shall never lack the good things in life.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in Advance.
