By Ngbede James
The senator representing Kogi East, Distinguished Senator Isah Jibrin (Echocho), has distributed rice to his constituents
The distribution of the items which took place at Echocho’s residence Anyigba, Kogi State, was made to benefit thousands of people cutting across all the wards in the nine Local Government Areas (LGAs) that constitute Kogi East.
In a statement issued on Friday on behalf of the senator by his Media Aide, Mikail Ibrahim disclosed that the rice were distributed to the People of the State irrespective of Political affiliations, in an attempt to allow the Christian to celebrate Easter and the Muslim Faithful to continue the Ramadan fasting with relative ease.
Under the arrangement which has been perfected by the Senior Legislative Aide to Distinguished Senator Isah Jibrin (Echocho), Alh Abubakar Rajab, 3,000 Households ware targeted across the 9 Local Government Areas.
Recall that about last two weeks, the Senator rewarded over 2,700 beneficiaries with #20,000 cash palliative cut across Kogi East. The Senior Legislative Aide to Sen Isah Jibrin, Alh Abubakar Rajab disclosed that the first phase of Sen Isah Jibrin’s #100,000,000 cash empowerment scheme will also commence next week.
He explained that more than 95% of the rice were transported to various local government areas of the state, making it easy for the beneficiaries to get them in the shortest possible time.
Rajab also maintained that beneficiaries must be needy, especially orphans, widows, and divorcees. He urged the people to continue praying for the Senator, the state, and the country as a whole.
