The Executive Chairman of Ijumu Local Government Area, Hon. Haruna Ibrahim, has distributed empowerment items worth millions of naira to constituents at his country home in Ogidi, promising to deliver further dividends of democracy across the local government.
The initiative, dubbed the Mega Empowerment programme, saw the distribution of items including motorcycles, grinding machines, refrigerators, and direct cash assistance to 200 widows. Local leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) who received motorcycles described the gesture as democracy in action and expressed surprise at the scale of the support.
Speaking during the presentation, Ibrahim stated that the empowerment scheme was designed to appreciate the people of Ijumu for entrusting him with their mandate and for demonstrating steadfast support for his administration since he assumed office.
