Abuja: Sen. Ned Nwoko (APC-Delta) has distributed bags of rice to Anioma indigenes resident in Abuja as part of efforts to support them during the Lenten and Ramadan fasting season. The distribution exercise, which was held in Abuja, brought together representatives of Anioma communities across the 94 wards and nine local government areas that make up the Delta North Senatorial District.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, handed over the bags of rice as a deliberate intervention to cushion the effects of the current economic realities, particularly during the solemn spiritual period of Lent and Ramadan. Represented by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Prince Chiedu Abili, the lawmaker encouraged the Anioma indigenes in Abuja to remain steadfast and united.
He urged them to continue to support the collective aspiration for the creation of Anioma State as well as the administration of President Bola Tinubu and the Renewed Hope Agenda. He also emphasised the importance of obtaining their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and actively participating in the ongoing political process as preparations for future elections gradually gather momentum.
Chief Luke Enelichi, President General, Izu Anioma, Abuja, expressed appreciation to Nwoko, describing the gesture as a thoughtful and timely intervention. He noted that the gesture was particularly meaningful given the spiritual significance of the season. He prayed for continued strength, wisdom, and good health for the lawmaker.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that representatives of various town unions, including the women’s wing, also commended the lawmaker for his generosity and consistent engagement with his people and pledged their continued support.
