On Friday, 27th of March, 2020, house of rep member, Jimoh Ojugblele, in keeping to his promise of distributing thousands of hands sanitizers to complement the efforts of the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun in preventing the spread of the dreaded Coronavirus disease, distributed about 10,000 units of hands sanitizers to the people of Ado Odo/Ota Federal Constituency of Ogun State.
Mr Ojugbele, representing Ado-Odo/Ota Federal Constituency at the Federal House of Representatives is well known for his philanthropic gestures and community services..
The people of Ado-Odo/Ota could not hide their joy, when news filtered to town that Mr Ojugbele has made such provisions for them to prevent the spread of the disease in the area.
On why he decided to embark on the project, Mr Ojugbele revealed that the welfare of his people was paramount to him and that he was prepared to ensure that the disease did not spread in the constituency and in Ogun State generally.
Mr Ojugbele stated further that the sanitizers are being distributed to the constituents indiscriminately and that the distribution is not on the basis of political affiliation.
“All of us are aware of the evil that Coronavirus is doing around the world. We must therefore do everything within our power to prevent its spread in our community. Nothing is too small to donate in the fight against Coronavirus.
“May I use this opportunity to commend the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Ogun State government on the way they have been working hard to prevent the spread of the disease.
“This was why I decided to complement their efforts and make the sanitizers available to my people. It is not only during electioneering period that the people should feel our impact. My covenant with my people is to be with them come rain come shine,” he said.
Mr Ojugbele added that the 10,000 sanitizers were only meant for the first batch and that more were on the way to ensure that the items go round the people of the constituency as much as possible.
The lawmaker used the opportunity to appeal to the people of the constituency to play safe, obey the rules of the state government on the prevention of the disease, while saying that Coronavirus is real, but that “we can wipe it away from our society if all hands are on deck to confront the deadly virus.
