A philanthropist and founder of the Oluwaseun People Foundation, Pastor Oluwaseun Basil Alabi, has once again brought smiles to the faces of the less privileged, the aged, Persons with Physical Disabilities (PWDs), and widows in the Osun West Senatorial District of Osun State.

During the New Year celebrations, the Foundation distributed various food items to over 17,000 beneficiaries across Iwo, Ede, Irewole, and Isokan Local Government Areas.

In addition, Pastor Alabi extended his condolences to the families of victims of stampedes that occurred at different times in Ibadan, Abuja, and Anambra during palliative distribution events.

Speaking at one of the distribution centers in Ikoyi, Osun State, the Deputy Coordinator of the Foundation, Comrade Salensile Muideen, affirmed that the founder remains committed to supporting the needy. He noted that the initiative has been a yearly tradition and will continue indefinitely.

“We started in Iwo and Ayedire two days ago. Yesterday, we were in Ede to distribute palliatives, and today, we are in Irewole Federal Constituency. We are currently in Ikoyi, and this is our second stop here. We will still visit Ikire and Apomu to distribute more palliatives. This is not the first time, and it will not be the last. To God be the glory, our principal, Pastor Oluwaseun Basil Alabi, has been doing exceptionally well. Kudos to him.

“It’s a major step forward for us. Our people are very happy to receive us because it is challenging to give during these tough economic times in Nigeria. If someone can give this much without holding any political position, it speaks volumes about his generosity,” Comrade Salensile stated.

Speaking on the impact of the palliatives, the Secretary of the Foundation, Gboyega Bakare, emphasized the significance of supporting the less privileged during Nigeria’s challenging economic period.

“We understand that no amount of food items given to an individual can fully satisfy human needs. However, at this moment when things are so expensive in the country, we are at least able to bring some relief to the needy. Each bag contains rice, garri, noodles, and other items. For a family of four or five, it can provide a meal per day. The goal is to offer some relief,” Bakare said.

The Secretary thanked Pastor Oluwaseun Basil Alabi for enabling the team to serve the people through his philanthropic efforts.

“This year’s event was particularly significant because we organized the beneficiaries into clusters to avoid the unfortunate incidents of stampedes seen elsewhere.

“We attended to beneficiaries in batches, gave them tags, and ushered them in. Each person received a bag containing various food items. Afterward, they were seated while the next batch was attended to. This method ensured no one was pushed or made to suffer,” he explained.

Some beneficiaries who spoke to Daily Mail expressed their gratitude for the food support and prayed for Pastor Oluwaseun Basil Alabi, asking God to bless and sustain him as he continues to extend a helping hand to those in need.
