From information gathered, this gesture to the widows demonstrated by Mr Peter Akpanke is a routine activity. This year’s edition of the event started with prayer and short exhortation by Pastor Patrick Ashiekem of the Burning Flame Ministry (Home of Fire) presided by the General Overseer, Rev Abraham Agbo, Kaduna. The items distributed were clothing materials of different variety and food.
The widows, being overwhelmed with joy, knelt Mr Peter Down and offered prayers and blessings on him.
Mr Peter started the distribution, after a brief address and later handed over to Hon Patrick Utsu, the Councilor representing Bendi Ward 1.
Mr Peter Akpanke is a man loved by his people for his philanthropic tendencies fuelled by his empathy and compassion for people. Information also reveals that anytime he comes home, his people always flock around him bringing several problems they have because he is compassionate and always eager to solve their problems.
