According to him, “Like I always tell people, I am not a politician but a businessman. I am not doing all these to seek attention, but to fulfil my promise to God to help the needy. I lost my dad over 28 years ago and I am sure you know what it means when he left five children.
“The load and responsibility for two persons now for one person, things are practically tough and rough. Since then, I said if I have the wherewithal, I will never forget this particular set of people in society.
“I want to encourage those people God has helped to remember their early days and extend a hand of love to the less privileged in the society. That is the best thing we can use to assist these categories of people.
One of the beneficiaries, Mrs Elizabeth Folorunso, commended the donor for the gesture on them, adding the amount would go a long way to ameliorate their sufferings.
