“The gesture is coming for the beneficiaries to celebrate the upcoming 2023 Eid-El-Adha festival with ease.
Matawalle, who is the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, directed the state APC leadership under its chairman, Hon. Tukur Umar Danfulani to handle the distribution so that all those pencilled for the animals and money receive their share in good time for the event.
“Under the arrangement, APC members and loyalists, women and youth groups and associations and selected individuals throughout the state will equitably receive their shares”. Yusuf emphasized.

Danfulani said that a committee has been constituted to ensure that all target beneficiaries got their shares.
He urged other well to do members of the society to emulate the former Governor in this drive which immense benefits will come to them both in this world and the hereafter.
