While some beneficiaries are yet to receive their disbursements, many have praised the lawmaker’s consistent engagement with the grassroots. "Even those of us awaiting our turn are thankful. Hon. Oke has always carried everyone along, and we are confident we won’t be left out," another party official noted.
The Eid el-Kabir gesture has sparked commendations from across the political spectrum in Ijesa North, with constituents hailing Oke’s approach to inclusive politics. Observers noted that his act reinforces his reputation as a responsive and people-centric leader who does not limit his generosity by political seasons or alignments.
Party stakeholders believe the move will not only strengthen loyalty within the APC but also serve as a morale boost for grassroots mobilizers ahead of future political engagements.
Eid el-Kabir, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the most significant holidays in Islam. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God, a lesson in faith, charity, and devotion. Hon. Oke’s outreach aligns with these values, reflecting a tradition of giving and shared celebration.
With this initiative, the lawmaker once again underlines his long-standing mantra: "No one left behind."
