Typical of him in his usual act of kindness to mark the Eid-el-Kabir, Adamawa renowned philanthropist, Dr. Emmanuel N. Musa through his foundation has doled out millions of Naira to over one thousand beneficiaries in Adamawa State.
Musa targeted the aged and the sick who were mostly above 60 years old in his immediate community of Kaala and its environs, using the Sallah Festive period to touch their lives.
Our reporter observed that many commendations from hundreds of people on social media described him as a young man with a golden heart to serve humanity.
When contacted by our Adamawa correspondent to comment on the over thirty million Naira donation our reporter read about on social media, Musa simply said the gesture is not worth making noise about because it’s something done in line with God’s divine instructions and mandate.
The donation came through his Non-Governmental Organization, Emnamu Foundation which is known for carrying out philanthropic works across the various local government areas of Adamawa State.
Emmanuel’s senior aide who is the national coordinator of the Emnamu Foundation, Comrade Kukuya Godwin told our reporter that the money was earmarked to cater for the needy, and the aged in their communities.
Kukuya also declined comment on the amount spent for the project on Eid day, he simply said Emnamu foundation is out to serve humanity, the amount does not matter.
“The succour is meant for the vulnerable persons who are aged and need help in the community. We have spent more than the thirty million Naira against what is being speculated on the social media, but the exact amount is what I can’t mention, but it costs our foundation a fortune and I pray our other elite shall follow suit,” Godwin said.
Godwin further said the rationale behind Musa’s untiring community selfless service, youth and women empowerment, is the motive behind his kindness.
He said sympathy, empathy and service to humanity are what Musa is all about as a passionate philanthropist.
Godwin who is Musa’s Chief of staff, said the donation coincided with the Eid-El Kabir Sallah celebration and he called on the Muslim Ummah to showcase the good qualities of Prophet Mohammed’s (SWA) love to fellow humans.
He enjoined the Muslim faithful to imbibe the examples of the Holy Prophet Muhammad and also pray for unity, peaceful coexistence and love for one another, since the nation is facing myriad of security challenges and approaching its electioneering year.
