The food donation was warmly received by the Muslim communities, who expressed their gratitude to Agyapong for his kindness and thoughtfulness.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh Facebook, the former MP personally oversaw the distribution of the rice to the beneficiaries in a long queue.

Each of the beneficiaries received a bag of rice and other gift items from Agyapong and his team to assist with their celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr.

Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the donations, Agyapong said he came from a poor background and worked hard to achieve success.

Owing to this, the former Assin Central legislator said he felt compelled to support the needy, adding that he donated to Muslim communities every year for their Eid celebrations.

He also disclosed that he comes from a family with a diverse religious background, with almost half being Muslims and the other half subscribing to Christianity.
