Saraki Defends Care For The Elderly At Ramadan

A former Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the elderly and vulnerable women during the holy month of Ramadan.

Saraki said the annual outreach remains a moral and spiritual obligation rooted in compassion, gratitude and the responsibility to care for the elderly, particularly during a sacred period that emphasises charity and humanity.

He said the initiative is intended to ensure that elderly women, many of whom depend on communal support, can observe Ramadan with dignity and without anxiety about basic meals.

Food items were distributed to the women at the Saraki Government Reserved Area (GRA) residence in Ilorin, Kwara State.

The distribution of the food items was carried out by the leader of the Baba Saraki Alasalatu Group, Hajia Afusat Abubakar.

Speaking during the exercise, Hajia Abubakar reiterated that Saraki remains dedicated to providing relief, inclusion and care for elderly women, especially during Ramadan when support for the underprivileged becomes even more significant.

The beneficiaries, who turned out in large numbers, expressed gratitude for the food support, describing the gesture as timely and reassuring.
