In a heart-warming demonstration of compassionate leadership and grassroots commitment, the Leader of the Ibadan North-West Legislative House and Councillor representing Ward 9, Hon. Oluwagbemileke Gbadamosi Nelson, affectionately known as O’leke, has brought cheer and relief to his constituents during the festive season with the distribution of food items and cash support worth over ₦700,000.
The benevolent gesture saw Hon. O’leke distributed 22 chickens alongside over ₦200,000 in cash directly to residents, while additional financial support extended the total value of the outreach to more than ₦700,000, reaching vulnerable individuals and families across Ward 9 community.
The festive intervention, described by beneficiaries as timely and impactful, was aimed at cushioning the economic pressures faced by residents during the Yuletide season, while reinforcing the spirit of love, sharing, and unity that defines the period.
