Senator Sharafadeen Alli (APC-Oyo South) has extended his food palliative distribution initiative to the Ido and Ibarapa regions of Oyo State.
This announcement, made through a statement from his Special Adviser on Media, Akeem Abas, highlights the senator’s commitment to supporting his constituents during these challenging times.
The distribution, led by Mr. Gbenga Elegbede, saw market leaders, known as Babalojas and Iyalojas, from four local governments receiving essential food items intended to provide relief to traders across 11 towns and over 15 markets.
The initiative covered a wide range of markets, including Apete, Awotan, Akufo, Ido, Omi-Adio, Okolo, Lanlate, Maya, Eruwa, Temidire, Oja-Oba Igboora, Towobowo Igboora, Towobowo Market, Idere, Ayete, Tapa, and Igangan.
Previously, Senator Alli had distributed food palliatives in five other local government areas: Ibadan South-West, Ibadan North, Ibadan North-West, Ibadan South-East, and Ibadan North-East. He emphasized that these efforts are part of a broader commitment to mitigating the hardships faced by constituents due to rising living costs.
“We understand the difficulties our people are facing, and we are committed to providing support where it is most needed,” Senator Alli stated, reinforcing his dedication to the welfare of his constituents. The senator’s proactive approach has been met with gratitude from traders, who expressed that the assistance would significantly help sustain their families during these tough economic times.
Beneficiaries of the food palliatives praised Senator Alli for his timely intervention, urging other leaders to follow suit in addressing the pressing needs of their communities. The distribution is not merely a one-time effort but part of a larger initiative aimed at ensuring that all constituents, particularly traders and widows, receive the support they need to weather the current economic challenges.
Community leaders and residents have lauded Senator Alli for his compassionate leadership, recognizing him as a steadfast advocate for the improvement of lives within his district. Among the notable market leaders who received the food items were Musiliu Adetoro (Apete), Chief Waheed Odedele (Omi Adio), and several others from various markets, demonstrating the widespread impact of this initiative across the region.
