He said the philanthropic gesture, which has been in existence for over 15 years, is aimed at giving back to society from what God has bestowed upon him.
According to him, December 23, 2025, is a sacred day set aside for the annual Christmas outreach, a tradition he has sustained for over fifteen years to put smiles on the faces of indigent Nigerians.
He added that the beneficiaries cut across all tribes and ethnic groups and that the initiative has no political undertone.
“I am doing this to humbly appreciate God’s grace, protection and mercy upon my life and that of my family and to contribute my quarter to Nigeria’s unity.
“This is one of my happiest way of giving back to the society, what God has bestowed upon me.
Christmas and New Year seasons are period of love, unity, and giving. It’s a time to reflect on the blessings we’ve received and extend them to others, especially women who play vital roles in their various families and our society at large.
“Sharing the gifts and blessings of God is a responsibility we all should embrace, not based on the size of our pocket but on the depth of our compassion.
“I want to encourage everyone to give something back as an act of love, and simple kindness, it can make the difference in someone else’s life,” he admonished.
The beneficiaries, in their unanimous appreciation, asked God to keep blessing the benefactor for always remembering the poor at the needed periods.
