Ramadan: Kwara Politician
Ramadan: Kwara Politician Feeds 5,000
Muslims
A kwara politician and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
candidate for the state Assembly in the 2019 elections, Abdulmajeed
Olanrewaju-Oba has fed over 5,000 Muslims in Ilorin and Surulere
local government areas of Kwara and Lagos States respectively.
The Olanrewaju Oba Foundation, TOOF, the philanthropist have
been providing free meal packs to thousands of Muslims since the
commencement of the month Ramadan.
Speaking during one of the Iftar (fast-breaking) food
distribution sessions, Mr Olanrewaju-Oba disclosed that before the
end of the Ramadan month, he hoped to feed over 10,000 Muslims.
According to him, the decision to provide free meals to Ilorin
and Surulere residents stemmed from a realisation that many
families are undergoing serious economic hardship in the
country.
He noted that the feeding exercise would also help to provide
soothing relief to those who were finding it difficult to feed
during fasting and, at the same time, feed their families.
Honourable Olanrewaju-Oba said: “The religion of Al-Islam
exhorts the rich to always assist the needy, especially during the
month of Ramadan, because of the immense spiritual benefits that
will accrue to them.
“Those who are blessed financially should know that assisting
the needy and catering for the less privileged in this great month
will attract massive reward for them.”
