A former member who represented Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency in the 9th National Assembly, Shina Abiola Peller, has distributed rams worth millions of naira to his constituents and others to celebrate this year’s Eid el-Adha.
The former lawmaker stated that he distributed the rams to make the 2023 Eid el-Kabir worthwhile and enjoyable for his people, particularly Muslims who could not afford to buy them.
Peller noted that distributing rams, rice and other items to people during Sallah celebrations had always been his act even before he joined politics.
He emphasised that whether he was holding public office or not, he won’t stop reaching out to people, particularly the needy, during festive periods like Eid, Easter, Christmas and New Year.

He said, “This is wishing my Muslim brothers and sisters a fun-filled 2023 Eid al-Adha celebration filled with love, happiness, joy, affluence and sound health.
“Today is so pious to us all as Muslims and we must make it count by seeking God’s mercy and forgiveness for our shortcomings and praying fervently for peace to reign in our country.”
