Oyebamiji Offers Scholarships to Children of Osogbo Rainstorm Victim

 

Osogbo, Osun State — The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, has announced full educational scholarships up to university level for the four children of a woman who died during a recent rainstorm in Osogbo.

Oyebamiji, popularly known as AMBO, made the declaration on Sunday during a condolence visit to the family of the late Jemilat Ganiyu, who lost her life in the devastating storm that struck the Osun State capital last week.

The APC candidate also directed the immediate opening of a special bank account for the children, through which he pledged to provide consistent financial support for their education from primary school through tertiary level.

The beneficiaries include Tijani Faruk, a Junior Secondary School 2 student; Tijani Mariam, a Senior Secondary School 2 student; Tijani Fatimah, currently in SS3; and Tijani Haliah, a Primary 6 pupil.

Speaking during the visit, Oyebamiji expressed sadness over the tragic incident, noting that death remains an inevitable end for all mortals. He extended his condolences to the bereaved family, particularly the parents of the deceased, and prayed for strength to bear the loss.

In addition to the condolence visit, Oyebamiji also visited victims of the rainstorm receiving treatment at the Osun State University Teaching Hospital. He offered prayers for their quick recovery and made financial donations to support their treatment.

He further instructed his aides to document the details of a critically ill patient whose parents sought his assistance during the hospital visit.

Members of the deceased’s family commended Oyebamiji for his gesture, offering prayers for his success in the forthcoming governorship election.

The APC candidate was accompanied by several party leaders and associates, including former and serving public office holders, during the visits.
