Tinubu donates food items to South-East, South-South Christians, Muslims

President Bola Tinubu has flagged off the distribution of food items to Christian and Muslim faithful in the South-East and South-South zones of the country.

The food distribution is aimed at providing relief to citizens as they conclude their fasting periods.

The donation was launched in Owerri on behalf of Tinubu by Imo Governor, Hope Uzodimma.

During the ceremony, Uzodimma commended the President for prioritising the welfare of Nigerians, especially during religious seasons.

He encouraged citizens to use this period to offer prayers for the nation’s progress and for the continued wisdom of its leaders.

Uzodimma made this known in a statement on his X handle on Saturday, March 22.

The statement reads: “On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, I flagged off the distribution of food items to Christians and Muslims across the South East and South South regions as they conclude their respective fasting seasons during this period of spiritual renewal.

“I commended Mr. President for his unwavering dedication to feeling the pulse of the people, especially as they undertake the solemn journey of fasting and prayer. In my remarks, I urged the people to use this time to pray for the continued wisdom of our leaders, particularly President Tinubu, to ensure the sustainability of the nation’s development.

“As each of the eleven States in these regions receives its share of the items, I emphasized that they are intended for those in need. I trust that the respective State Governments will ensure equitable distribution to reach the most vulnerable.”
