Moved by the challenges of the times, a former Deputy Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly Honourable Friday Osanebi, has donated food items to traditional rulers in Ndokwa east local government area.
The lawmaker, who represents the Ndokwa east constituency in the House, said the donations to the traditional rulers were in partnership with a friend and philanthropist, Chief Godspower Avuru, in response to his resolve to reach out to as many people as possible in this era of Covid 19 lockdown.
Represented by his aides, Osanebi said the respect and sanctity of the traditional institution were sacrosanct, adding that the dignity of any nation was dependent on her culture and tradition which must not be politicized.
The lawmaker, who is the Chairman, House Committee on Culture and Tourism, said it was ridiculous to expect the monarchs to queue up at the primary schools in their communities to partake in the sharing of food items he brought to the local government area for his constituents and commended the royal fathers for declining the invitation, which denied them shares of the distributed food items and funds.
He expressed optimism that the food items would help to ameliorate the challenges of the times in their homes and urged them to sustain their steering roles in the fight against Covid 19 pandemic within and outside their kingdoms.
The legislator also thanked Chief Godspower Avuvu for collaborating with him in ensuring that palliatives were made available to the people.
The Chairman, Ndokwa East Traditional Rulers Council, Eze Jonathan Kanegide, and Igwe Golding Ugbomah of Okpai kingdom, who were the beneficiaries thanked Osanebi for the food items and prayed God to continue to bless him and members of his family, describing his philanthropic drive as worthy of emulation.
