Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Rev. Yakubu Pam, has said that the donation of N500 million to 500 families affected by violent conflicts in Plateau State by the first Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu is an exemplary demonstration of Christian values of charity and humility.
In a two-page letter to the first Lady, titled “Appreciation For Touching More Lives in My State”, Rev. Pam said the action of the First Lady is worth learning from.
He said, “It is not just about the amount but the empathy, sense of commitment as well as the humility of going there to make the donation to those 500 families across six local government areas of Plateau State.
“Your commitment to humanity transcends politics, and your selflessness in reaching out to those in need is truly commendable.
“Your very people-focused and positive disposition has not only vindicated those of us who became temporary victims of skeptical political opponents’ propaganda for standing for your progressive ideals; you have also helped win many to the side of truth and forgiveness even without preaching”.
