Kakalistiq.com reports that Alhaji Akanni Seriki Bamu, a prominent leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a respected apex figure within the party’s Epe Divisional hierarchy, has rallied political followers in the division and Nigeria for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu amidst the prevailing economic challenges facing Nigeria.
In a recent address to constituents in Epe during the 5th edition of the distribution of cash palliatives to women held on Tuesday, April 9th, 2024, Alhaji Bamu, a Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) member in Lagos, reaffirmed his commitment to the welfare of the people despite not possessing the wealth of prominent figures in the country.
“I am doing this for up to fifty with 100,000 and 100 with 5000 naira based on my capacity. I am using this gesture to thank God, considering His grace in my life. Pray for President Tinubu, Governor Sanwo-Olu, and Nigeria; things are hard, and that’s why I have decided to do this even though I am not as rich as Dangote,” he emphasized, underscoring the significance of supporting one another during trying times.
Expressing gratitude for the support of President Bola Tinubu during an interview, Alhaji Bamu acknowledged the challenges encountered in his leadership journey and emphasized the importance of steadfastness in the face of adversity. “Hold on to the party, do not flinch, do not be deceived, as we will continue our meetings.

Revealing to the all-female beneficiaries that he approaches his 85th birthday, Alhaji Bamu expressed disappointment over the lack of acknowledgement for his efforts in supporting job seekers within the community. He urged constituents to provide timely feedback on successes, pledging continued support for youth empowerment initiatives.
