The Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada had weeks before this presented ambulances to some local governments in the state, adding to the existing ones after paying their counterpart fund, but the ambulances were still not enough, as many hospitals in the state still lacked facilities.

The PDP National Secretary, Professor Wale Oladapo, commended Adeyemi for the good work. He also seized the opportunity to canvass for his party, the People’s Democratic Party. He stated that all those who work for the party would be rewarded at the end of the day.
In his speech, Governor Idris Wada commended the senator for embarking on projects that would touch the lives of the citizens of Kogi State, he appealed to the people to use the equipment with care, while urging others to emulate the philanthropic gesture of the senator so as to complement the government.
