APC Female Reps aspirant distributes food worth millions in Nasarawa community

Mahasin Usman-Attah, a female aspirant for Awe/Doma/Keana Federal Constituency in the All Progressives Congress (APC), has distributed food items worth millions to the vulnerable at Agbashi community of Doma Local Government Area, Nasarawa State. 

Speaking at the distribution at the community, the aspirant said that the items were to ameliorate the suffering the people were going through and put smiles on their faces.

She listed the donated items, which included rice, semolina, beans, sachets of tomatoes, noodles, salt, and seasoning cubes, among others, targeted at widows, orphans, and the elderly in the community. 

She promised to extend the gesture to other vulnerable groups in all the communities of the constituency to further connect with them and understand their challenges better.

Usman-Attah acknowledged the challenges faced by women in politics, particularly in a male-dominated environment like hers. 

She noted that no woman has ever won an election in the area, making her determination to succeed even stronger to prove that women have a lot to contribute towards making the country better and more secure.

"I want to bring genuine development to my people, and if I have the opportunity, I will prioritise the road from Doma to Agbashi, which is critical to the development of the entire area.

"I will prioritise girl-child education and empowerment programmes for women and the youths as well as the elderly in my constituency.

"I will also sponsor quality bills and move important motions that would ensure peace, employment opportunities for the youths, and attract development and investment to our people to complement the efforts of the state and federal governments," she added.

The aspirant had consultation meetings with different groups in the area to inform them of her intentions to contest for the House of Representatives in the area and wanted their blessings as her kinsmen and parents. 

The aspirant also visited the palace of Moses Adigashi-Alade, the Utushoho of Agbashi (Traditional Ruler) and Alh. Adamu Ogah, District Head of Agbashi for consultations and royal blessings.

The food items were warmly received by the community, with many expressing their gratitude for Usman-Attah's kindness and commitment to their welfare.

Sarah David, a beneficiary, told journalists that the gesture has brought relief and hope to some of them, that indeed their sister and daughter are a beacon of hope and would represent the constituency well if given the opportunity.

She therefore urged other politicians and spirited individuals to emulate Usman-Attah and extend a helping hand to the poor, especially the vulnerable. (NAN).
