“This gesture will go a long way in improving on the standard of living of the people of my constituency. I want them to celebrate Christmas and New Year with smiles on their faces and with joy,” Benson said.

The lawmaker re-assured the people of quality and sound representation at the national Assembly in the interest of development.

Also, speaking with MegaXpression Community News, the Director General of the iCARE Foundation, Mayor Muyideen Sanwoola noted that, ‘the Christmas iCARE food bag distribution is in line with Hon Babajimi Benson’s aggressive campaign against hunger among his constituents, especially as Christian faithfuls mark this year’s yuletide.

"Inspite of the distribution taking place ahead of the Christmas celebration, many non-Christian were also captured among the beneficiaries of the gesture," he said.

He therefore commended members of iCARE Foundation for their commitment and unflinching loyalty to the foundation since 2014.
