Ben Bruce donates wardrobe allowance to widows in Bayelsa

Senator representing Bayelsa East and philanthropist Mr. Ben Murray Bruce of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has fulfilled his pledge to donate half of  his wardrobe allowance to widows in his community at Akasa, Bayelsa state.

The senator made the donation at the weekend.

“I fulfilled my vow to give half my wardrobe allowance to widows of my Constituency today. #BenBrucekeepspromises!,” he posted on his Twitter handle, @benmurraybruce

Recall that earlier this year, the media mogul pledged to donate his wardrobe allowance to the unpaid workers in Osun state and widows in his community.

He said his action was necessitated by the suffering of the workers and their dependants over the inability of the state government to pay public service workers.

“I, Ben Murray Bruce, will not sit down idly, while my fellow citizens die because salaries have not been paid.
As a first step, I am immediately donating my wardrobe allowance to unpaid workers in Osun state and widows in my Constituency,” he said

He added that he will publicly handover his allowance to the chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC IN Osun state and the head of widows association in Akasa.

Each senator is entitled to a wardrobe allowance of N506, 600 per annum according to the Chairman of Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission, Engr. Elias Mbam.

Good job Sir, God bless you i pray more senators emulate you Sir.
