J. and his eldest son, Mahdi Aliyu, among other personal Aides.
It could however be recalled that, this large scale distribution ceremony was scaled down in 2020 , sequel to the raging global Coronavirus Disease Pandemic ( COVID-19).
The immeasurable gesture was still however unceremoniously extended to the ever expectant and elated beneficiaries, in line with the COVID-19 extant guidelines and protocols.
The perennial gesture of the former Governor of Sokoto State was aimed at further alleviating the suffering of the beneficiaries.
The invaluable gesture cannot also come at a better time than when the Muslims were gearing up for the Ei-el- Fitr celebrations , to mark the end of the Ramdan fast.
A cross section of the beneficiaries lauded Senator Wamakko, who represents Sokoto North Senatorial District, for the unparalleled gesture.
While urging other wealthy individuals to emulate him, they pledged to use the items judiciously.
