The former House of Assembly aspirant for Ado Constituency 1 said, “I want to enjoin well to do individuals especially my political associates that they should not wait until election period before they start reaching out to members of their constituencies, it has been part of me and I love to give back to the society at any given opportunity.
“One of my motives in politics is to change the narrative and giving is one of the ways I think I can change the narrative.
“I believe giving must not be sectionalized and must not be seasonal, it must be continuous, if you say you love your people at every point in time, you must reach out to them in your own little way, it doesn’t matter the quantity of what you are giving to them but the act of doing so, and that is what encourage me to give my own widow’s mite.”
