Edo PDP chieftain calls for coordinated efforts to fight hunger

Edo State Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Kenneth Imansuangbon has called for collaboration among well meaning Nigerians to fight hunger.
Imansuangbon made the call during his annual rice distribution to less privileges, orphanages, prisons and the downtrodden across the three senatorial districts of the state.
He attributed his reason to the annual distribution of this stable food and cash in the last twelve years as part of effort to ameliorate the suffering of people of the state, noting that no government alone can do this without the efforts of those God has blessed.
Imansuagbon who is commonly referred to as the “Rice Man”, particularly called on Nigerians to emulate the philantropic gesture of late Captain Hosa Okunbo who was there for everyone irrespective of tribe or ethnicity.
According to him, “I am calling on all Nigerians, Edo sons and daughters to join me in the struggle to defeat hunger in Edo state, we need to feed our children. We just have to conquered hunger.
“Let us learn from late Capt Hosa Okunbo, he gave to everyone , he shared with all that came in contact with him.
“You don’t need to be super rich to share with the needy. Our leaders must see now that our people are hungry.
“Leaders must feel the suffering of the people. If you eat and your neighbour can’t then we are in trouble. Look at the way people are struggling to grab 10kg bag of rice. I will do everything to fight hunger.”
At Agenebode, headquarters of Etsako East local government area of the state, a Septogenarian proprietor of Christ Family Orphanage, Mrs Ebohia Bello, with over 216 ophans, commended the philantropic gesture of Imansuagbon.
She said: “Infact, this is the third time the rice man is visiting us with loads of food items. We are very grateful and prayed that God should grant his heart desires”.
