The Borno State Chapter of Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) has distributed food materials to some displaced and needy people in Maiduguri, the state capital.
Secretary and Facility Manager of the Borno State chapter of the BSO, Alhaji Muhammed Shettima Kuburi told reporters in Maiduguri that the association decided to reach out to people who are in need of support during this period of Ramadan.
“We have distributed thousands of bags of rice, spaghetti, vegetable oil, sugar, Lipton and some token of cash to all beneficiaries”, Kaburi explained.
He praised the contribution of the Northeast Coordinator of the Organization Hajiya Ya’Chillu Baba Jidda, wife of the immediate past Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Engineer Abdullahi Aliyu who is the Director of Fund raising towards achieving the goal.
The distribution of the items was supervised by Dr Garba Sani, the National Coordinator of the group supported by the Borno State coordinator, Alkali Aji Kolo. He disclosed that the idea of reaching out to Buhari supporters during the Ramadan Fast was a measure of sustaining the solidarity that the new President enjoyed during the elections even as he now steers the affairs of the country.
Items distributed include hundreds of bags of rice, cartons of sugar, spaghetti and vegetable oil to all members and non-members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) across the 27 local government areas and the IDPs.
Also, the Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation has donated food items to IDPs in Damaturu, in Yobe State.
The items were donated by the Foundation’s Managing Director Dr Shettima Aji-Ali in Damaturu.
The items includes 400 bags and cartons of Semovita and indomie noodles, 400 pieces of wrapper and children’s wear, 100 cartons of cooking oil and baby foods.
Alhaji Musa Idi, Executive secretary of Yobe State Emergency Management Agency, who received the donation on behalf of Yobe government assured that the materials will be distributed to the victims of insurgency.
