A renowned philanthropist and political leader in Kogi State, Otunba Olayinka Braimoh, has assured his supporters of his continued support.
Speaking with our correspondent on his end-of-the-year largess to his loyalists and vulnerable groups across the state, Braimoh said the initiative was aimed at appreciating the unwavering support, loyalty and sacrifices of his followers throughout the year.
He said the initiative was to ensure that families, especially the less privileged, can celebrate the festive season with dignity and joy.
The Yuletide gesture, which cut across various communities, saw beneficiaries receiving essential food items including bags of rice and gallons of groundnut oil, as well as cash gifts in varying amounts. In addition, Braimoh paid medical bills for some beneficiaries facing health challenges and, in a remarkable act of generosity, purchased vehicles for some of his long-standing loyalists to appreciate their partnership over the year.
Widows and other vulnerable individuals were also included in the outreach, underscoring Braimoh’s belief that leadership must be anchored on compassion, empathy and service to the people.
Braimoh reaffirmed his commitment to continuously standing with the people, stressing that true leadership goes beyond political ambition and must translate into tangible support that positively impacts lives.
Appreciating Braimoh for the gesture, one of his aides, Hon. Musa Olumayowa Yakubu (MOY) attested to the fact that the former governorship candidate had always done this without publicity.
“Apart from making provision for food items yearly, I can vividly remember that in 2023, he bought several vehicles including a Prado Jeep, Range Rover (Bullet proof), Honda CRV, Toyota Camry (Big daddy) and several Sienna buses and many others for his loyalists but did not want the gesture to be published.
“The Yuletide support has once again reinforced Olayinka Braimoh’s reputation as a people-centered leader and a strong advocate of inclusive development in Kogi State,” he said.
Beneficiaries expressed heartfelt gratitude for the timely intervention, describing Braimoh as a dependable leader whose actions consistently reflect his concern for the welfare of the people.
