Sallah: Zamfara APC distributes 200 cows to members
The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has distributed 200 cows to its members ahead of the Eid-El-Fitr celebration.
The state APC Chairman, Alhaji Lawal Liman, disclosed this at a stakeholders meeting of the party in Gusau on Wednesday.
Liman said that the cows were donated to the party for distribution by a former governor of the state, Alhaji Abdul’aziz Yari.
He said that the gesture was aimed at reducing the hardship of members of the party, especially those at the grassroots, resulting from COVID-19 lockdown.
According to him, the gesture is in line with the party’s commitment to assist various categories of the needy to celebrate Eid-El-Fitr in a happy mood.
“In addition to food items donated to people of the state at the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.
“We also distributed 200 cows to party members and other needy in the state donated by the state APC leader, Alhaji Abdul’aziz Yari.
“The animals have been distributed under the supervision of central coordinating committee headed by myself.
“In each of the 147 wards of the state, we gave one cow,” Liman said.
He said other beneficiaries comprised the executives and elders of the party across the 14 local government areas of the state.
“Youths and women wings of the party and staff of state APC headquarters among others also benefited from the gesture,” he explained.
Liman, who thanked the former governor for the gesture, described it as timely.
