In the course of the philantrophic gesture Imansuangbon donated food items and cash to jubilant residents and organisations which included Christ Family Orphanage in Otoukwe, Agenebode.

He appealed to all well meaning Nigerians to join hands with him to fight hunger and share with the less privileged, needy and the down trodden.

The former Edo State Governorship aspirant said he decided to embark on the free rice sharing in the last seventeen years at every Christmas to ameliorate the sufferings of the of the people.

He stated: “I’m calling on all Nigerians, Edo sons and daughters to join me in the struggle to defeat hunger in Edo State. We need to feed our children. We just have to conquer hunger.

“Let us learn from late Capt. Hosa Okunbo. He gave to everyone, he shared with all that came in contact with him. You don’t need to be super rich to share with the needy. Our leaders must see now that our people are hungry.

“Leaders must feel the suffering of the people. If you eat and your neighbor can’t then we are in trouble. Look at the way people are struggling to grab 10kg bag of rice. I will do everything to fight hunger.”

77years old Mrs. Rabi Bello, Proprietor of Christ Family Orphanage, with over 216 inmates thanked the philantropic gesture of the donor, Barrister Imansuagbon.

“Infact, this is the third time the Rice Man is visiting us with loads of food items. We are very grateful and pray that God should grant him his heart desires.”
