In the spirit of Easter, a season widely associated with sacrifice, compassion, and unity, a senatorial aspirant in Benue South, Dr. David Olofu has extended support to residents of Agatu Local Government Area through the distribution of 100 bags of rice to vulnerable households.
The outreach, which took place ahead of the Easter celebrations, was facilitated by Bashir Hassan Ekoja, whose local network ensured that the items were distributed efficiently across various communities within the LGA.
Residents who benefited from the initiative described the gesture as timely, noting that it brought relief to many families during the festive period.
Observers say the intervention reflects a broader pattern of grassroots engagement by Dr. Olofu, who has expressed interest in representing Benue South Senatorial District in the Senate. His continued involvement in community-focused initiatives has been interpreted by supporters as a demonstration of his commitment to inclusive and people-oriented leadership.
In a related development, Bashir Hassan Ekoja, who previously showed interest in the senatorial position, has stepped down from the race. He has pledged his full support to Dr. Olofu, emphasizing the importance of unity and collaboration in advancing the interests of the district.
Speaking on the development, Ekoja described the Easter outreach as more than a charitable act, calling it “a symbol of hope, partnership, and a renewed commitment to serve the people with sincerity and dedication.”
The initiative comes at a time when community leaders and stakeholders continue to stress the need for responsive leadership and collective action to address local challenges in Benue South.
