We've Never Had It This Good, Lagos East Constituents Celebrate As Senator Abiru Food Packs Touch 12,000 Families Across 16 LGs/ LCDAs

 "This is unprecedented, we have never had it this good in the history of Lagos East", this was the common  commendation showered on the Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA, across the 16 LGAs/LCDAs, as 12 households benefitted from the Senator’s End of the Year Food Packs. In total, a whopping 84,000 households had so far benefited from the scheme from inception till day.

The food packs contain essential staples such as rice and garri, which were  distributed across all 16 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the district, bringing  relief to thousands of households, many of whom described the support as timely and impactful. The programme targeted the most vulnerable members of the society, including, elderly, widows, persons living with disabilities, women and unemployed youths.

Each food pack, branded with the Renewed Hope of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and Senator Abiru’s #DoingGood, underscored  the alignment of the Senator with the far-reaching policy direction of President Tinubu’s agenda on food security, social protection and inclusive welfare.

To further ensure  fairness and transparency, beneficiaries were equally selected through a community-driven process.

 Residents across Lagos East submitted nominations via an online platform, recommending vulnerable individuals and families within their neighbourhoods. These nominations were randomly shortlisted and beneficiaries emerged cutting across all the 16 LGAs and LCDAs in Lagos East.

For many beneficiaries, the initiative went beyond food support, it was a reaffirmation of responsive leadership and compassion-driven representation of Senator Abiru that has continued to touch lives across Lagos East.

In addition to food packs, cows were also distributed  to certain traditional rulers, party leaders to support festive celebrations.

Story of Supremacy: Ooni of Ife and Alaafin of Oyo

First of all I am immensely grateful to the two most prominent royal fathers Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamide Adeyemi III and Ooni of Ife, Oba Ogunwusi for their display of maturity and bringing together the whole Yoruba race again. I say to both revered fathers, KABIYEESI O!!! (As usual, with my chest flat on the floor). Both of them are great kings of Yoruba land and none should ever be disparaged!. That being said, we need to clear the air on this superiority issue being bandied around by a lot of people without the sense of history. Some say The Alaafin is the supreme-most king in Yoruba land, while others say it is the Ooni. I would try to give an abridged version of the history of the two and let you, the YoruByte reader make your own decision. So, it is an agreed fact that the progenitor of the Yoruba race is Oduduwa. Fact undisputed! It also known that Oduduwa had only one child, Okanbi. Fact Unchallenged! Furthermore, It is universally agreed that Okanbi had seven children, Fact Unc...
