Lawmaker representing Kogi Central senatorial district, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Saturday, distributed 600 bags of 50kg rice to 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.
Peak Newspaper Nigeria reports that 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.
He explained that the Senator will continue to bring democratic dividends to the people despite her illegal suspension by the Senate.
Recall Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan had earlier distributed 2,400 bags of grains during Ramadan and organised training and empowerment programmes despite being suspended by the Senate.
