The wife of the Lawmaker Deaconess Mrs. Mary Diden who supervised the distribution of the items at their residence in Sapele, explained that apart from Christmas, the season when Christians received the gift of the birth of Jesus Christ as the Saviour of mankind from their sins, is also the moment of giving to people to further propagate the gospel of Christ who came to this earth to sacrifice His life for our sins.

Mrs. Diden who has been in the forefront of the success story of her.husband, expressed deep appreciation to her husband Hon. Diden for his show of love to the people through yearly donations of the consumable items to them, while also appreciating the efforts of all those who stood by them during the last general elections particularly those who voted her husband into power as a lawmaker, including those who voted Governor Senator (Dr.) Author Ifeanyi Okowa and other PDP members into power.

She assured that the gesture would be sustained within the limit of available resources in their disposal by God’s grace even as she solicited for more prayers and support from the general public on the entire Diden family.

Hon. William Popo, Councillor Ward 8, Sapele and Hon. Austin Opubor who spoke to journalists during the distribution of the items, also commended Deacon (Dr.) Mike Diden for the wonderful gesture of reaching out to members of the public who came out enmasse to receive the items for their respective families without restriction.

They described Hon. Diden as God-sent who came to alleviate the plight of the common man, while appealing to those in privileged position to emulate his character by assisting the needy so that the society would be a better place.

Hon. Opubor, the former Special Adviser on Security to Governor Uduaghan, remarked that Hon. Diden and family has been in the habit of doing charity for years and that his boss is the type that is happy doing good to people irrespective of tribes as he believes all people are one body from the body of Christ, just as he solicited for the cooperation of the members of the public through prayers so that God will continue to guide and protect him together with his family.

All those who received the items prayed for long life and protection for Hon. Diden and entire family so that God will continue to protect them to do more for the people continually.
