Speaking during the latest edition, Hon. Sketel said his passion for humanity drives the programme, which he described as his personal contribution toward supporting the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“God sent me to rescue Epe II from hunger. Even without any allocation from the federal or state government, I have made it a duty to ensure that my people do not go to bed hungry,” he said.
He also urged attendees to present their Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs) while collecting their packages, encouraging others who are yet to register to do so before the next Sunday’s outreach.
Beneficiaries from different wards testified to the positive impact of the initiative.
Mrs. Ariyo from Ward M1 described the lawmaker as “a God-sent leader who brings joy to the less privileged every week.”
Similarly, Iya Eleja from Ward K1 hailed him as “a true Messiah for Epe’s vulnerable population,” offering prayers that his good deeds would continue beyond 2027.
