From Umar Danladi Ado, Sokoto
Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Treasurer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto State, Alhaji Maniru M. Shehu, has empowered constituents in Magajin Gari B Ward with the sum of N31.65 million.
Speaking at the event in Sokoto, Shehu said the gesture was aimed at empowering the beneficiaries to improve their socio-economic activities.
He explained that the donation was also intended to complement the efforts of Governor Ahmed Aliyu of Sokoto State and the APC leader in the state, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, in providing support to various segments of society across the state.
Also speaking, the State Chairman of the APC, Alhaji Haruna Sarkin Gobir Adiya, described the gesture as unparalleled and worthy of emulation.
Adiya appealed to affluent members of society to cultivate the habit of assisting the less privileged, noting that God bestows wealth on individuals not necessarily because they are smarter than others, but so that others can also benefit from the circulation of such wealth.
The disbursement ceremony was attended by prominent APC leaders in the state, including the party’s State Secretary, Barrister Muhammad Bello, and the APC Chairman of Sokoto North Local Government, Hon. Murtala Hassan.
Others included the Chairman of Sokoto North Local Government, Hon. Jamilu Umar Gosta, and the member representing Sokoto North II Constituency in the Sokoto State House of Assembly, Hon. Hussaini Tukur Faru.
The funds were distributed to polling-unit representatives, ward leaders, neighbours, associates, friends and family members as part of efforts to strengthen unity and maintain good relations between party leaders and their constituents.
