- Promises to support Tinubu’s government to succeed
By Gilbert Ekezie
There was joy among the residents of Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government Area, Lagos State over the weekend when the Federal House of Representatives PDP candidate in the last general election, Chief Francis Bartholomew Chima, popularly called ‘Omo Barca’, extended his philanthropic gestures by sharing cash and food items to about 3000 (three thousand) people.
The exercise, which was organized by LEGIT Foundation, his charity organization, was part of his palliative measures to cushion the effects of the present economic hardship and hunger on the people.
Speaking during the exercise, Chima said having seen what the people are passing through presently, he decided to come up with such intervention.
He noted that this is the right time to support this in need, as hunger is ravaging the land.
Chima said there is need to assist those in government, since they cannot do everything for the people.
“The government can’t solve all the problems, so we decided to support them to succeed.”
He assured that he will continue to support and put smiles on the faces of those in need. “I have been doing my best to see that the masses don’t suffer, and I will not relent in doing what I find joy in.”
He encouraged other good citizens of the country whom God has blessed, to emulate his kind gesture, irrespective of political and tribal differences, so that the country can move forward. ‘ I am using this opportunity to call on other well -to -do Nigerians to support those in need. Our country will not grow if we depend on government to do everything for us.”
The political bride of Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government Area urged Nigerians to have patience with the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu because he has good plans to rebuild the country for the betterment of all citizens.
One of the beneficiaries of the palliatives who did not want her name to be mentioned, gave a good remark of Chief Chima and prayed that God will continue to bless and sustain him and his foundation for their good work. ” God will continue to bless him for doing these for us. His good heart desires shall be granted by God.
“Since he doesn’t want us to lack food and money in this period of hardship , God will do same to him.”
