The Senator expressed his resolve in a series of tweets posted on Thursday, June 18, 2015.
He said.
“I’ll take whatever attacks come my way but nothing & nobody can dissuade me from doing what my conscience directs in helping my fellow man. The month of Ramadan is here. Many unpaid workers will fast. With what will they break their fast? I thought of that and it moved me to act.”

“I may not be a Muslim, but I respect Islam and I believe that it is wrong for me to respond to any attack during the Holy month of Ramadan. I wish the Muslim Ummah a successful fast. Please pray for God’s intervention in Nigeria so that peace may return. Ramadan Kareem.”
The government of Osun had accused Bruce of playing to the gallery and making a mockery of the workers’ dilemma after he made the offer.
