“My aim is to pay back to my community once again as part of my leadership style to support the state, federal and local government.
“I packaged three items for the people; Rice, Garri (Cassava Flour) and Fresh Fish, given to just one person per family as a complete package to enable them feed at least for a few days.
“My focus was also on the less privileged, aged and widows. Although I was also moved to give youths too who lamented serious hunger during this COVID-19 period due to the lockdown.
“I understand how we all feel, please as part of government directive and WHO precautions, let us adhere to the precautionary measures by washing and always sanitizing our hands, be your brothers keeper by maintaining social distancing, use your nose mask and comply with the Stay-At-Home order.” Said Bamgbose.

“I had nothing to eat at home, I was sited thinking of what to eat when a friend told me that Bamgbose is around, when I got here to my surprise, I was given Garri, Rice and Fish. I am very happy and I pray God continue to bless Bamgbose always.” Serah said.
“May God continue to bless this man, hunger took me out of home and he just packed by my side and asked me to take, he is an angel”, an unidentified person met along Owode road.
