The Executive Chairman of Kajola Local Council Development Area Chief Ojo Adebayo has distributed food items and cow to Muslims in the council area in the spirit of Sallah celebration.
While handing over the items to the Muslim faithful, the Kajola council Boss stressed that the generous gesture was made in appreciation of the valuable support he has received since he was elected and sworn in as the Council Boss.
Chief Adebayo who was represented by his Wife Princess Oluwaseun Ojo-Adebayo explained that the donation aimed to alleviate economic hardships and bring joy to the beneficiaries and their families during Eid Adha, which is a season of sacrifice and celebration.
He however, stated that the beneficiaries were chosen based on necessary and immediate needs, not solely on political party affiliation, as he is the leader of all residents of the local government.
He said: “We thank Allah SWT for granting us another opportunity to witness the Eid-el-Kabir. I felicitate all my Muslim brothers and sisters and pray that Allah SWT will accept our efforts as an act of Ibadah.
“This programme reflects our continued commitment to the welfare of the people of Kajola LCDA, especially during seasons of spiritual reflection and celebration like Eid-el-Kabir,” he said.
The Chairman assured that the initiative, which showcases compassion and a commitment to giving back to the community, would be a continuous one until it reaches the majority of the residents in the area.
Some of the recipients of the donation expressed their gratitude for the Chairman’s benevolence, describing it as a thoughtful gesture.
They expressed optimism that the donation would help them meet their basic and essential needs before and during the festive period.
