The Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Dr Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, has donated N30,000 each to 11,229 women in the 3,347 poling units across the state to celebrate Eid-el-Adha.
The money, which was provided through the state leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, drew three women from each of the 3,347 polling units across the state.
Disbursing the money at the party office in Birnin Kebbi on Tuesday, the state party chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru, described Gov. Idris as a God sent people’s governor.
He said: “We must appreciate God Almighty for blessing us with a leader that cares for his people. It takes leaders with a large heart to do what our Comrade Governor is doing.”
Kana-Zuru advised beneficiaries to make judicious use of the money for their own good.
Responding on behalf of other beneficiaries, the first recipient, Hajiya Maimuna Mohammed Kalgo from Kalgo Local Government Area appreciated the governor for what she described as a new innovation in the state.
She noted that the gesture was the first of its kind in the political history of Kebbi State.
