TO support the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), in Edo State, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, members of Team Dr. Uyi Igbinadolor for Asue/Ogie led by the chairman of Etsako East Local Government Council, Mrs Benedicta Attoh, distributed N10, 000 each to traders in Agenebode main market on Tuesday as part of her usual Benedicta’s Market women Money.
The National Coordinator of the Dr. Igbinadolor support group, Chief Jude Ogbekile said the fund was to support the market women in their businesses and urged the beneficiaries who were randomly picked in the market to utilise the funds judiciously and pray for the donor.
Addressing the Women, the council Chairman introduced Dr. Uyi Igbinadolor as the donor of the 300,000 (Three hundred thousand naira) for 30 women which they are in the market to distribute as a lifeline to support the poorest of the poor in the society due to the high level hunger caused by the inhuman policies of the federal government. More of the women will be captured in other zones of the local government in the next few days.
She described the lifeline support as one that is offering hope, dignity, reducing poverty, promoting self-sustainability and development. She called on public- spirited men and women to emulate the Edo born United States based medical practitioner, Dr. Uyi Igbinadolor by extending helping hands to those that need help the most in the society. She said charitable donations play a significant role in poverty alleviation, especially in rural communities.
Hon. (Princess) Benedicta Attoh further expressed gratitude to Sir Tonna Okei, a brother and friend also based in the United States who she said facilitated the donation saying Dr. Igbinadolor has a track record of always putting smiles on the faces of the downtrodden in the society. She assured that the distribution of financial support to the downtrodden across various markets in Etsako East Local Government will continue in Okpekpe, Imiegba and Okpella markets respectively within the week.
