She said, “The president -elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the wife of the president-elect, Senator Oluremi Tinubu actually asked us to be here to distribute combo packs to Muslim faithful during the period of Ramadan which of course is a period of giving and love, we are also reaching out to the Christian faithful, so different churches will be receiving combo packs for the Easter celebration.
“We’ll be delivering hundreds of 1000s of these combo packs that contain different food items to various mosques and churches across the nation… so we are having over 100,000 of items that are going out, they have been divided into different mosques and churches across the nation.”
“Let’s pursue peace, Nigeria belongs to all of us and everyone has a role they’re supposed to play in nation building, we cannot underestimate that role, It’s time to lay aside party politics and face governance, let’s come together as one nation under God to ensure that we see the development that we wish for. Let’s work towards it and let’s all give our support to the incoming president Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu because we’re very sure he’ll make the difference,” she added.
Also, the federal commissioner, National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), Imaan Sulaiman Ibrahim said the gesture was to strengthen the religious harmony among Nigerians.
