Senator Tokunbo Abiru Christmas Gift to Lagos East Constituents

Senator Tokunbo Abiru's Christmas Gift to Lagos East Constituents

As part of the Christmas celebrations, Senator Tokunbo Abiru has extended a hand of love and fellowship to his constituents in Lagos East. In a season of giving, Senator Abiru has consistently demonstrated his commitment to the welfare of his people.

A Tradition of Giving

According to Senator Abiru, "This initiative is not only a tradition but also an opportunity to show love and fellowship to one another. We have been doing this for the last 18 months since the elections, and we do it almost on a quarterly basis."

Empowering Constituents

Senator Abiru has empowered thousands of people in Lagos State through his various initiatives. Recently, he distributed food packs to 10,000 households across the five local governments in his district. Each household received an 8kg bag of rice and an 8kg bag of gari.

Supporting Tax Reforms

Senator Abiru also took the opportunity to address the recent tax reforms initiated by the federal government. He explained that the reforms are pro-people and pro-growth initiatives designed to support low-income individuals and small businesses.

"The tax reforms are meant to address some of the past decisions of past governments that were not in line with how economies should evolve," Senator Abiru said. "The reforms are pro-people because they exempt individuals earning below N800,000 from tax payments. Additionally, small businesses with a turnover of N50 million and below are also exempt from taxes."

A Call to Support

Senator Abiru urged his constituents to support the tax reforms and the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. "This is a lifetime opportunity that we must all take advantage of," he said. "Let us support the growth and reforms initiatives of our president and the leadership that we have."

Notable Figures Commend Senator Abiru

Former Deputy Governor Prince Abidoun Ogunleye commended Senator Abiru's selfless efforts and diligent work. "His commitment to our community is truly commendable," he said.

Asiwaju Olorunfunmi Bashorun, former SSG, also praised Senator Abiru's initiatives, saying, "Senator Abiru has consistently distributed food packs to those in need and empowered thousands of people in Lagos State. His selfless efforts and dedication to our community are truly commendable."

Other notable figures present at the event included Chief Imams from each LG/LCDA, APC Lagos State Pastor Ojelabi, former Commissioner Asipa Kaoli, and LGAs chairmen across Lagos East.

By showing his commitment to his constituents and supporting pro-people initiatives, Senator Abiru has demonstrated that he is indeed the kind of representative needed in all tiers of government.

STRANGE BUT TRUE! MEET THE YORUBA O̩BA WHO MUST NOT SEE ANOTHER O̩BA.

He is the ruler of this rural settlement, about 30 kilometers from Idiroko town in Ipokia Local Government Area, Ogun State.  He walked humbly into the palace and the atmosphere didn’t immediately give an impression that a royal father had just arrived.
