Rep. Aminu Jaji (APC-Zamfara) has purchased 3,000 rams for distribution to his constituents, members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and others, for the forthcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival.

This is contained in a statement issued in Gusau on Saturday by the chairman of the lawmaker’s coordinating committee, Aliyu Abubakar.

“The beneficiaries include prominent personalities in the state, various categories of former political appointees, state, local government and wards party executives and the members of the State APC Elders Committee.

“The beneficiaries also include former Directors General, former local government councils Chairmen and their deputies as well as councillors among others.”
