Wednesday, December 31, 2025 - The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has distributed 1,000 bags of rice to widows and indigent people across the 16 local government areas of Kwara State.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the gesture is
part of end-of-year activities organised by the First Lady to distribute food
items to the indigent.
Mrs. Tinubu, who was represented at the event by the
National Officer of Christian Northern Nigeria Progressive Forum (CNNPF), Mr.
David Ifabiyi, said the food distribution was to the members of CNNPF, which is
made up of 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Ifabiyi said the First Lady is the Grand Matron of the
organisation, adding that the distribution of the foodstuffs had begun earlier
in Kaduna State.
“The First Lady’s interest is dedicated towards reaching out
to the widows and indigents in Nigeria. She is interested in helping the less
privileged.

“In the spirit of Christmas, Mrs. Tinubu is putting smiles
on the faces of widows, the less privileged, Christian bodies and other
religious adherents,” he said.
Ifabiyi also said the First Lady had ensured that religious
adherents, including Muslims, Christians, and traditional religion worshippers,
benefited from the food distribution.
The National Officer of the organization lauded the peaceful
distribution and the large turnout of beneficiaries.
He thanked Mrs. Tinubu for her kind gesture, urging the
masses to support the Federal Government’s initiative in the Renewed Hope
Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in revamping the economy.
Also, the Kwara State Coordinator of CNNPF, Deacon Victor
Abioye, praised Mrs. Tinubu for her laudable initiatives.
“It has been the usual practice of the First Lady to reach
out to Christian widows and other vulnerable Nigerians every December to
distribute foodstuffs,” he said.
Abioye said the masses were feeling the touch and happy that
someone from the top was reaching out to them.
The cleric hailed President Tinubu for his administration’s
policies that are geared towards developing the nation.
He added that it might be difficult in the beginning but
expressed optimism that it would be beneficial to the country.
Abioye also expressed optimism that Nigeria will overcome
the present challenges and urged fellow citizens to support the present
administration.
The coordinator also urged Nigerians to pray for the nation
and the present administration to succeed.
Some beneficiaries, Mr. Babarinde Abiodun and Mrs. Beatrice
Oladimeji, praised the First Lady for her kind gesture.
They prayed for the success of the Tinubu administration,
saying the First Lady has consistently put smiles on their faces in the past
two years.
