Son of late politician and business mogul, Buruji Kashamu, Rasheed, on Wednesday, shared food items and cash gifts to about 4,000 residents of Ogun State, in the spirit of the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
Kashamu, who is a member of the State House of Assembly representing Ijebu North 1 constituency, said the gesture was to cushion the effect of the prevailing economic reality of the country.
He noted that the empowerment programme was not new to the Kashamu, who had over the years considered the welfare of the people as paramount.
The Minority Leader of the Assembly said, “Whatever we do here today is the way of Kashamus’. We have always believed in stretching hands of love and support to our people and it is a legacy that we inherited and which we have carried on with and we hope to do more.
“This is a gesture that has been going on for years in the Kashamu family, we try to reach out to as many people as possible, uplift them, feed them and help them in our own little way.
“I use this opportunity to plead with others too who are quite privileged to lend a supportive hand, it is about all of us doing the little we can to make the society better and ensure that no one is left behind”
Kashamu pledged to continue to use his good office just like his Late father who represented Ogun East at the Senate between 2015 and 2019 to facilitate many more people-oriented projects for Ijebu Igbo while also supporting the welfare of the people from time to time.
