According to him, “One of my motives in politics is to change the narrative and giving is one of the ways I think I can change the narrative.
I believe giving must not be sectionalized and must not be seasonal, it must be continuous, if you say you love your people at every point in time, you must reach out to them in your own little way, it doesn’t matter the quantity of what you are giving to them but the act of doing so, and that is what encourage me to give my own widow’s mite.
It is not restricted to Ramadan period alone, I give during Christmas celebration, I give free eye glasses, free jamb forms and free coaching and I have other plans to reach out to my people. Adarabierin remarked.

“I also want to enjoin our Muslim brothers and sisters as well as our Christan brethrens to use this Ramadan and Lenten season to pray for the administration of Governor Biodun Oyebanji, he is doing well everyone can attest to that, his administration has brought light to the state, which we are all enjoying and I believe with their prayers he will continue to do well the more, so I want to appeal to them to use this Ramadan period to keep praying for him” the SSA noted

Asipa has never disappointed us before, he has been doing it even before now, to Asipa giving is inborn and he has been doing wonderfully well.
I pray to Almighty Allah to continue to be his strength and at same time we are encouraging him not to stop the good deeds, because there is reward for everything we do or fail to do, He said.
