Rep says 3,000 rams, N250 million donated to Zamfara Muslims
Aminu Jaji (APC-Zamfara) has purchased 3000 rams for distribution to his constituents and the All Progressives Congress (APC) executives, members and vulnerable households in the state.
He announced this in a statement signed by the chairman of Jaji’s Coordinating Committee, Aliyu Abubakar, on Saturday.
Mr Jaji represents the Kaura-Namoda/Birnin-Magaji federal constituency in the House of Representatives.
According to the statement, Mr Jaji, the chairman of the House Committee on Ecological Funds, has also earmarked N250 million for distribution to individuals, orphans, and vulnerable groups across the state as Eid-el-Kabir welfare packages.
Mr Jaji’s constituency, Kaura-Namoda, and Birnin Magaji LGAs will receive special packages of rams and cash.
“This is an annual gesture aimed to assist the Muslim faithful, especially the APC members and less-privileged families, to perform sacrifices and celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir festival in a happy mood.
“The beneficiaries also include state, local government, and ward executives of the party, party elders, prominent persons in the state, and former political office holders.
“Other beneficiaries include former local government council Chairmen, vice-chairmen, former councillors, as well as APC associations, among others. Also to benefit from the gesture are Islamic scholars, orphans, youths and women APC support groups, among others,” said the statement.
Mr Jaji called on Muslims to intensify prayers for sustainable peace and stability in the state and the country during the first ten days of Zulhijjah and Eid-el-Kabir.
