The APC Women Presidential Campaign Team at the weekend donated foodstuff and other items to internally displaced persons at the IDP camp in Area One, Garki Abuja.
Items donated included 100 bags of rice, 500 tubers of yam, 100 cartons of instant noodles, 30 cartons of vegetable oil, 500 wrappers and an undisclosed amount of money as empowerment grants for young people in the camp.
Speaking at the event, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who led the delegation, said the purpose of the visit was to present food items and provide cash grants with which many youths in the camp can be economically empowered.
She stated that they are aware of the yearnings of those in the camp to have their children educated and supported in their quest to become financially empowered, and pledged continued support for IDPs not just in the camp, but across the country.
She further pledged to work towards the resettlement of all IDPs across the country should her husband, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, win the presidential election in 2023.
“I believe that all those in IDP camps when the time comes, will be resettled, because this camp is dehumanising. We can’t live in our homes and expect our brothers and sisters to be sleeping in sheds. I’m speaking for me and I believe I’m speaking for Mrs. Shettima, that we will make sure that we continually remind our husbands of the plight of these people, that they have to be resettled.”
