All Progressives Congress(APC) senatorial candidate for Ogun East, Prince Dapo Abiodun, distributed thousands of bags of rice to the party executives in all electoral units, wards and local councils in all the nine local government areas in the district. Addressing the party executives at a meeting at Ijebu North East local council secretariat, Atan, Abiodun stated that his visit became necessary because of the huge support given to him by the people during the party primaries which he declared contributed tremendously to his emergence as the winner. He appreciated the people for their support for him despite the fact that one of his co-contestants is from their council area. The APC senatorial candidate assured the people of the district that on market days in each of the wards in the nine local governments, bags of rice would henceforth be distributed to market women and men. According him, the party executives from the unit to local government levels would inform party members and supporters about the days chosen for distribution in each ward for the people to come out en mass to collect their bags of rice.
He also noted that apart from four litre of kerosene that would be distributed at all the electoral units, party members would also get kegs of vegetable oil. He noted that the gesture is a foretaste of what the people will benefit from him when they eventually elect him during the February general elections, adding that they should however guard their Permanent Voter’s Card(PVC) as that is their means of guaranteeing that such benefits continue.
By the middle of January, he said the first set of beneficiaries of the soft loans he had arranged with a commercial bank for empowerment of women, particularly market women, would have access to the fund. Abiodun explained that the distribution of the commodities was to cushion the current economic situation in the country, particularly during the new year celebration.
