Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has donated 1,000 bags of 25kg rice to the Christian Northern Nigeria Political Forum (CNNPF) in Bauchi State to support Christians during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The Bauchi State Coordinator of the Forum, Mr Ayuba Dogara, disclosed this on Saturday during the distribution of the items in Bauchi.
He said the rice would be equitably shared across the 20 local government areas of the state, benefiting members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), women and youth groups, associations, and other vulnerable persons.
Dogara described the intervention as timely and thoughtful, noting that it demonstrated a clear understanding of the challenges faced by many families during the festive season.
According to him, the gesture came at a period when households are preparing to celebrate a season symbolising love, joy, and hope.
He added that the donation reflected solidarity and appreciation for members of the Christian Northern Nigeria Political Forum who have stood by the nation’s leadership even before the inception of the current administration.
Dogara further linked the initiative to President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which he said is rooted in inclusion, compassion, and opportunity for all Nigerians, regardless of background or status.
“The distribution of Christmas packages to Christian families across Northern Nigeria is a testament to the First Lady’s deep sense of empathy, commitment to national service, and moral leadership,” he said.
Dogara urged citizens to continue living in peace and harmony, stressing that meaningful nation-building can only thrive in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and unity. He also called on local government coordinators to ensure fair and transparent distribution of the items.
In his remarks, Mr Istifanus Manasseh, APC Chairman of Bogoro Local Government Area, commended President Bola Tinubu’s leadership style, particularly its emphasis on inclusiveness and support for citizens.
A beneficiary, Mr Bage Maitandu, expressed gratitude for the gesture and pledged continued support for the Tinubu administration, describing the donation as a symbol of care, encouragement, and shared hope.
