Member of the House of Representatives representing Oluyole Federal constituency, Hon. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe has cleared hospital bill of a constituent, Mr. Kunle Olanite, who is suffering from Glaucoma.
The lawmaker’s good gesture was received by applause from members of her constituency during the presentation ceremony on Wednesday in Ibadan.
At the event, Akande-Sadipe also empowered two physically challenged constituents, with cash grants and a chest freezer.
The lawmaker empowered Mrs. Muyibat Babalola, who is visually impaired with a business start-up grant, while Mr. Tella Ademola, a mobility impaired constituent, received a chest freezer.
Hon. Akande-Sadipe, who is the Chairperson House Committee on Diaspora, said that she offered Mr. Kunle Olanite funds for his medical treatment and surgical intervention on a diagnosed Glaucoma/Retinal Damage.
“This award was given in reference to the medical report obtained from the Oyo State Hospital Management Board. Everybody needs sight for a fruitful existence and where we can prevent sight loss we must support our fellow mankind”, she said.
While Akande-Sadipe wished the patient a speedy recovery, she equally urged him to make use of the grant exactly for the purpose it is meant for.
Responding on behalf of the recipients, a relative of the patient, Mrs. Romoke Olanike, said Akande-Sadipe’s gesture is laced with spiritual connotation.
According to her, when a woman with milk of human kindness practically demonstrates it, it should not be mistaken for politics.
