He further explained that, “We are conducting outreach at the Emikola Afolabi Foundation, it is our custom every year during Easter time to reach out to through poor and the needy. Every year we give them materials, particularly rice”.
However, he advised other Non-governmental Organization and well-being individuals to assist other Nigerians during this economic hardship.
“Our cry had always been that people should remember that we are in this world for a short while, death will come. If we have little that we can eat and we can share with other, the best time to do it is now.
