Erstwhile Deputy Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Friday Osanebi, has distributed 2000 bags of rice across the state.
Osanebi, speaking during the exercise in Ashaka, said this was his own way of cushioning the effect of the high prices of food and make Christmas memorable for them.
According to him, Yuletide is a season to put into practice the teachings of Jesus, which is centred around love and compassion.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Deputy Governorship candidate in the March 18 polls said his decision to always reach out to his people during the Yuletide is not tied to politics.
He said whether he holds political office or not, he will always put a smile on the faces of his people during Christmas.
Apart from rice, 100 cows, 200 goats, 100 cartons of oil, 100 cartons of tin tomatoes, 50 hampers were distributed, among other items.
Some of the recipients who couldn’t hide their joy, showered encomiums and praises on Osanebi, with many stating he’s the only political leader from Ndokwa nation who gives and empowers without sentiments.
