Yari gave N300 million sallah largesse to party supporters: APC
On Sunday, Abdulaziz Yari, representing Zamfara West senatorial district, donated N300 million to APC officials and supporters across the state.
During a meeting with the party stakeholders, Mr Yari announced the donation through the APC chairman in Zamfara, Tukur Danfulani, at the senator’s residence in Talata Mafara.
Mr Yari said the gesture was to assist the stakeholders and party supporters in celebrating Eid-el-Kabir with ease.
According to him, the welfare packages are meant to reduce the economic hardships people face.
He urged APC supporters to pray for the success of their leaders and party at all levels.
Mr Yari, who later addressed the party loyalists, thanked them for their support and loyalty during the concluded general elections in the country, renewing his commitment to support President Bola Tinubu’s government in all aspects, especially in the fight against insecurity and other heinous crimes.
“What translated in the general poll and that of National Assembly elections was destiny that only geared up our political ambition. We will, therefore, continue to remain loyal to our party and the government to attract development,” the senator stated.
Mr Yari’s donation came a few days after distributing 400 rams, 1000 cows to the supporters and another 500 rams to his neighbours in the Talata Mafara council area.
