In a significant gesture of support, Dr. Olumoko distributed 25 bags of 50kg rice to members of the movement and made a cash donation of ₦1 million to support ongoing grassroots activities.
Beyond the direct support to members, the intervention extended to key community structures.

Spiritual leaders were also included, with one bag of rice allocated to each of the six pastoral teams present. In total, 60 bags of rice were distributed during the exercise.

He stressed that the organisation remains committed to practical empowerment initiatives and sustained engagement at the grassroots, noting that meaningful development must be driven from the community level.
Over the years, the movement has carved a niche for itself through a range of impactful programmes, including voter mobilisation, political advocacy, educational interventions, healthcare outreach, and economic empowerment initiatives that have touched lives across the state.
