New Year: Hon. Mashood Mustapha Hosts Widows and Widowers, Gives Food and Cash Gifts

In the spirit of new year and usual philanthropic dexterity, the Special Adviser to Senate President Bukola Saraki on Intra-Parliamentary Relation, Protocol Matters and Special Duties, Hon. Mashood Mustapha popularly called MM hosted about five thousand widows and widowers in his Ilorin residence today and dolled out food stuffs and money to each of them.

It is a general axiom, among the political class, in Ilorin and Kwara by extension that Hon. MM derives happiness in putting smiles in the faces of the downtrodden, especially the aged, widows and widowers. This is, without doubt, one of his hobbies which has spanned decades, even before venturing into politics proper in 2003. He however, evidently accomplished the synonymous acts severally, especially during Ramadan period, Sallah days and other festive periods, at his former resident along Sulu Gambari road and the present, Abdulrasak road, both in GRA Ilorin, while he was representing Asa/Ilorin West Federal Constituency at House of Representatives, Abuja.

The beneficiaries, while collecting the gifts, prayed vehemently for the leader of All Progressive Congress in Kwara State and North Central Region, Sen. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and their benefactor, Hon. MM. It was indeed a hitch-free and orderly exercise as the beneficiaries departed the place peacefully and happily.

The people need more gestures like this, especially in this though period that is turning our billionaires into millionaires.
