In a rare show of love for humanity, the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh this weekend wined and dined with hundreds of internally displaced persons camped at the Wassa suburb town of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Metuh, accompanied by his wife, members of his family and friends, made their way to the remote village called Wassa, where he celebrated his birthday, cutting the cake and sharing meals with the displaced persons, mostly women and children.
It was a dramatic and touchy moment to behold as the people broke out in joyful celebration on sighting a big truck fully loaded with various food items, including bags of rice, cartons of tomatoes, salt, beverages, soft drinks and water, approaching their temporary homes.
Most of the women who along with children received food items and drinks expressed gratitude to the Metuh family for remembering them, especially at a time when they are in great need.
Speaking to journalists who were there to witness the philanthropic gesture, Metuh said he felt the need to use the opportunity of his 50th birthday to come and commune with the persons driven from their home states in the north-east by insurgents.
Earlier the politician shared his life and times in an interview. The excerpt:
