In its bid to give support to the needy, a philanthropist and All Progressives Congress (APC), Chieftain in Lokoja local government area of Kogites State, Yagba Maisaka has distributed food items to about 2,500 residents of Lokoja.
Speaking during the distribution of the food items, the philanthropist urged well-meaning Nigerians to help the needy during and after the holy month of Ramadan.
He said this on Wednesday in Lokoja Ward ‘D’ during the distribution of the food items.
Maisaka urged the Muslim faithful to use their wealth and positions to positively impact the people around them during and after the Ramadan fasting.
He added that Ramadan is a time for reflection adding that it is beyond fasting but a time to deepen connection with God and as well serve humanity.
He said, “Ramadan is a time for reflection, it is beyond fasting, and time to deepen our connection with God and serve humanity.
“May I use this opportunity to appeal to our people to wake up from our comfort zones and join the task of helping others.
“Don’t give to get, give to inspire”. I am appealing to every one of us to make a paradigm shift by adopting a selfless approach in our giving attitude.”
In his message, leader of APC in Ward ‘D’, Dauda Sadi also admonished Nigerians to always give freely to the needy.

He maintained that giving to the needy should not be limited to the Ramadan period or close relations alone adding that people should imbibe the spirit of giving instead of being a receiver at all times.
He charged Nigerians on the need to be kind to one another and desist from wicked ways.
“As we receive mercy from God we should be kind by giving to the needy in our environment, while we should also strive to be a giver too and not a receiver at all times.
“We should all embrace Godly ways of living and desist from wicked ways in life as there is reward for good deeds.”
Also speaking, one of the beneficiaries at the event, Malama Saudat Ibrahim appreciated the host for the gesture, while she prayed for the philanthropist.
The food items distributed include rice, spaghetti, semovita, milk and others.
