The Founder of Prince Adeyinka Alli Foundation (PAAF), Prince Adeyinka Alli has donated food items to residents of Ekiti state, as part of his efforts to reach out to the vulnerable during this festive period.
The donation programme named “PAAF Founder’s Cookout” has been on the lookout for the less privileged to put smiles on their faces, as part of his solo efforts for the sustainability of food security in the State.
While making the donation in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State chapter, he noted that the gesture was not in any way to ridicule the State but to improve the wellbeing of Ekiti indigenes on the occasion of his birthday on 21st December
Prince Alli added that his birthday, which coincides with that of the State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji has fueled his passion to helping people, just as the State Governor is doing fantastically well towards achieving his shared prosperity agenda.
“I thank God for giving me this opportunity to do this. There are lots of people who want to do the same but couldn’t due to some circumstances.
“This gesture does not generate any ridicule, I see everybody as equal. I am using this to commemorate my birthday which coincides with that of our state governor.
“I said to myself, if my birthday mate who happens to be the Governor of my state is performing all these, why can’t I also do same in my own quarters?”
The food items distributed included bags of rice, Garri, soft drinks, among others.
