The 6th edition of Bolaji Yusuf Movement tagged (BYM & Friends) held its 6th edition of the yearly event to celebrate with the widows within Alimosho local government and beyond.
The event which started six years ago is aimed to support the widows with token so as to enable them have a joyful and fruitful Christmas celebration.
Hon. Sulaimon Bolaji Yusuf who is the councillor representing 'Ward A' said in his speech " It is a thing of joy to me seeing people around me happy and fulfilled,most especially the vulnerables. If we are talking of vulnerable people in our society, the widows are number one. It is not an easy thing to be single mother after losing one's husband. If you check around most of them are going through a very tough and difficult situations. May almighty Allah keep consoling them."
"What we are giving them today is a token but I believe it will go along way in celebrating Christmas in a good mood. When this idea came up, it sounds good and worthy of venturing into but resources seems scarce. As an optimistic person with altruistic nature, the bulls has to be held by the horns, hence, where we are today. We started with assisting 20 people until last year, the number was increased to 50 and to the glory of almighty Allah, we did Hundred and ten this year."
"Soon, we shall go beyond this by embarking on empowering them and more. Help a widow today," he concluded.
