In a continued demonstration of his commitment to inclusivity and the welfare of his constituents, Senator Saliu Mustapha, representing Kwara Central Senatorial District, has commenced the distribution of assorted Christmas food items to over 5,000 Christian faithful in his constituency.

This year’s initiative is in line with the Senator’s annual tradition of supporting Christian faithful during the festive seasons. It would be recalled that the Senator, last year supported over 3,000 families, including widows, less-privileged individuals, and church leaders who received food items such as rice, vegetable oil, and chicken.

Speaking about the distribution plans, the project coordinator, Elder Julius Balogun, said the beneficiaries were selected after extensive consultations with relevant stakeholders across the district.

“This is not just an act of charity; it is a statement of Senator Mustapha’s commitment to the people of Kwara Central, irrespective of their socio-cultural, political, or religious affiliations. He is not called the ‘Senator for All’ for nothing,” Balogun said.

On behalf of Senator Mustapha, Balogun extended warm Christmas wishes to all Christians in Kwara Central and beyond. “We hope this gesture brings joy and fulfillment to everyone during this festive season,” he said.

Earlier in December, Senator Mustapha supported the Annual CAN Christmas Carol in the state, providing resources in kind to facilitate the event. During the carol, the Chairman of CAN in Kwara State, Rev. Samuel Adewole, publicly acknowledged the Senator’s consistent support for the Christian community.

“Senator Saliu Mustapha is a rare leader whose actions reflect his words,” Rev. Adewole said. “His generosity transcends religious and ethnic boundaries, and we are grateful for his continued support. I urge the congregation to pray for him so that God will continue to sustain him in his leadership journey.”
