The wife of the President-elect, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, has donated food items to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at New Kuchingoro, Karamajiji and Gongola camps in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Speaking at the event on Wednesday in Abuja, Mrs Tinubu said that the aim of the donation was for the displaced persons to celebrate ahead of May 29 of the inauguration of the new administration.

Represented by the National Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Betta Edu, she said the president-elect would consolidate on the achievements of the incumbent administration.

“She has asked us to go round the IDPs around Abuja and give them food items to help them to celebrate even as we are celebrating the incoming president.

“We have given out over 5,000 boxes of food items to different IDPs camps in the FCT to ensure that they celebrate with the incoming administration.

“It is a time for joy, peace, unity and celebration for Nigeria and Nigerians.

On the resettlement, she said that the incoming administration intends resettle IDPs in the country.

“Also, the President-elect has put emphasis on quality health care, humanitarian services and empowering Nigerians, building from the grassroots, bringing people in their millions out of poverty.

She, therefore, called on Nigerians to pray and support the incoming administration.

Earlier, the Federal Commissioner, National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, appreciated Mrs Tinubu for the gesture.
