The Senator representing Ogun Central Senatorial District, Senator Ibikunle Amosun positively shocked his constituents and supporters across the Senatorial Districts of Ogun State on Monday with massive Empowerment Programme that will reverberate for years to come.
The event which was held at the Ake Palace Ground, Abeokuta was attended by Amosun’s Apostles in the three Senatorial Districts of Ogun State.
Among the Items distributed at the Empowerment Programme are 100 mini buses, 500 units of 2.5 KVA Generator, 500 units of Deep Freezers, 500 units of Computer (Desktop and Laptop), 2,000 units of Sewing Machine and 2,000 units of Grinding Machine.
The distribution of the items was not limited to members of the political class as Civil societies and bodies like the ROADS, ACOMORAN, the Barber association, Market Women and Men Association, Student Bodies, Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, the Correspondents Association, Motor Spare Parts Dealers, Motor Mechanics Association, etc, were included in programme.
Addressing the mammoth crowd at the venue, Senator Amosun stated that he extended his empowerment programme beyond his senatorial district to Ogun West and East as a form of appreciation for the support and love shown to him over the years especially during his tenure as the governor of the state.
Speaking further, he said he was not oblivious of his primary responsibilities to his constituents in Ogun Central, that his support base cuts across the three senatorial districts of the State.
“One novel thing about what we are are doing today is that we are not limiting this to just Ogun Central even though Ogun Central will have more because I represent Ogun Central, but I know we have our people as well in the East and West, though Ogun East and West have their own Senators and they have been giving their people things, but I’m doing this in the Central and I felt that I should extend that courtesy to our people in Ogun West and East.
“It is not only the people of Ogun Central that have been supporting me since, our people from Ogun West and East have also been supporting our course and I feel they should also benefit from this empowerment programme.
“We are distributing 2,000 numbers of grinding machines, 2,000 numbers of sewing machines, 500 numbers of deep freezers, 500 5kva generators and 500 laptop and desktop computers for our students and we are distributing 100 buses to every ward”, Amosun said.
The empowerment is no doubt the first of its kind in the history of Ogun State. Alhough Senator Amosun represents Ogun Central Senatorial District in the Senate but he is magnanimous to include other senatorial districts in the State (Ogun West and Ogun East) in his empowerment programme.
