Abiru made this known at his constituency office in Ikorodu, where he distributed thousands of food packs to his constituents, to reduce their burdens in the present tough economic climate.
“I am using this special occasion of my 60th birthday to identify with you, my esteemed constituents, in this current economic hardship. This is largely due to wrong policy choices of past administrations, which the current government is trying to correct.
“It will be a smack of crass insensitivity for me to throw a social party, entertaining guests when most of our people are struggling to meet their basic needs, particularly food. Therefore, I shelved all social plans and decided to celebrate by providing food packs to over 10,000 households in Lagos East Senatorial District,” he said.
