Kashamu supports Ogun residents with food and cash gifts

Following the economical crisis and level of hardship in the country, Abdulrasheed Kashamu, the son of the late Senator Buruji Kashamu, distributed food items like rice and noodles, as well as cash gifts, to over 4,000 residents of Ijebu Igbo in Ogun State’s Ijebu North Local Government Area on Wednesday.

Kashamu said that the intention was to uplift the people in the spirit of Eid-el-Fitri, which means the end of Ramadan Fasting.

He, who is currently representing the people of Ijebu North Constituency 1 at the Ogun State House of Assembly, stated that there was no better time than now for those who were privileged to reach out to the people and help cushion the effect of the prevailing economic hardship.

Speaking during the programme held at his late father’s residence in Ijebu Igbo, the lawmaker noted that the kind gesture was nothing extraordinary, pointing out that it had always been the way of Kashamus to seek the welfare of others.

He declared that, “Whatever we do here today is the way of Kashamus, we have always believed in stretching hands of love and support to our people and it is a legacy that we inherited and which we have carried on with and we hope to do more.

This is a gesture that has been going on for years in the Kashamu family; we try to reach out to as many people as possible, uplift them, feed them and help them in our little way. I use this opportunity to plead with others who are quite privileged to lend a supportive hand. It is about all of us doing the little we can to make the society better and ensure that no one is left behind.”

Kashamu pledged to continue to use his office to facilitate many more people-oriented projects for Ijebu Igbo while also supporting the welfare of the people from time to time.

He promised to use his office to facilitate many more people-oriented projects for Ijebu Igbo, he also said he will support the welfare of the people from time to time.
