The All Progressives Congress (APC) flag-bearer for Bogoro constituency Honorable Bulus Iliya better known as Bulusiyya has distributed food items worth N2.5 Million to over five hundred (500) vulnerable women in Bogoro local government area of Bauchi State.
The distribution of the relief materials was held at the Government Day Secondary School Bogoro on Thursday in Bogoro, Bauchi State.
Some items distributed are 3,000 bags of rice and beans worth over N 1.5 million to the widows and cash money to some other vulnerable women in order to start businesses for the betterment of themselves and their relatives.
Honorable Bulus Iliya who was an aide to the Speaker of the 8th Assembly Rt, Honorable Dr. Yakubu Dogara, said: “I have been doing this philanthropic gesture even before I came out to aspire for this position, so this is not something new.”
He further said that “I am not doing this on the basis of my party, APC, because not all the widows and other women gathered here are in the APC; there are others in other political parties, and I don’t discriminate on the basis of party.”
“You will notice that I did not shout the APC slogan during the distribution of the items because I did not want any of them who belong to other political parties to feel offended. This is a philanthropic gesture.”
The All Progressives Congress APC flag-bearer Honorable Bulus Iliya urges them to good use of what they get from him and utilized it for the betterment of their families, and to continue to pray for the success of the forthcoming general election to come in 2023.
Speaking on behalf of women beneficiaries, Mrs. Rahab Dauda said that it has been long in the history of Bogoro politics to witness a wonderful development like what the APC flag-bearer Honorable Bulus Iliya did to them.
Mrs. Dauda promise to make good use of what they get from the candidate and assures them to continue to mobilize the Bogoro women to give him and its party massively vote in the forthcoming the 2023 general election to come.
