A team of traditional musicians also took turns to entertain the excited audience.
Beyond the distribution of food packs, the event also witnessed a sermon delivered by Hon. Abiola Makinde, the member of the House of Representatives, representing Ondo East/ Ondo West Federal Constituency.
The highly appreciative crowd, in their excitement, took turns to praise and pray for the Makindes for their consistency in impacting them and humanity at large, positively.
They wished them the best of life and highest of positions.
On his part, Hon. Makinde encouraged everyone to show genuine support, care and respect for the aged, noting that they are true blessing and inestimable treasures for society.
