In the spirit of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, Hon. Abdulrasheed Kashamu, son of late Senator Buruji Kashamu continued with his family’s tradition of giving back to the community. Thousands of people gathered at the Kashamus’ home in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State, to receive gifts of cash and food items, continuing the legacy of generosity set by his late father.
Residents of Ijebu Igbo, including children, the young and old, lined up in anticipation of the generous donations. Upon his arrival back home from the Eid prayers, Hon Kashamu (member representing Ijebu North Constituency 1 and Minority Whip of the Ogun State House of Assembly) who is a member of the PDP, ordered that the gates be thrown open to the teeming crowd who throng the house to celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir with him. He handed out cash and food items neatly packed in envelopes, sacks and carrier bags, bringing smiles and warmth to the hearts of the recipients.
Speaking on the occasion, Kashamu said: “I thank Almighty Allah for granting me and my people the opportunity and benefit of witnessing the celebration of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir. In continuation of the legacy laid down by my father, the late Senator Buruji Kashamu, we have made arrangements to reach out to about 8,000 people within our community and beyond with food items and cash, irrespective of sex, religion, race or political leaning. Our activities today underscore the purpose of the Eid celebration. It is a call to humility, empathy and sharing of joy, peace and happiness with the people.”
