The senator-elect for Zamfara West Senatorial District, Abdul’aziz Yari, has distributed 338 cows to All Progressives Congress (APC) executives, supporters, and various categories of less-privileged persons in the 14 Local Government Areas of the state for the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
The former APC Chairman in Zamfara State, Lawal Liman, disclosed this to newsmen while handing over the cows to some of the beneficiaries in Gusau, the state capital on Wednesday, April 19.
Liman, who is also the Chairman of the animals distribution committee, said the gesture was aimed at assisting the less-privileged in the society to celebrate Sallah with happiness.

“This is to reduce economic hardship among the people of the state, especially the vulnerable persons,” he said.
According to him, the beneficiaries of the gesture include APC leaders, elders’ committees and APC support groups and associations across the 147 wards of the 14 local government areas of the state.
Other beneficiaries included Islamic scholars, youth and women groups, orphans, widows, community leaders in the state, and internally displaced persons.
Liman commended the former governor of Zamfara State for his concern for the people of the state, especially those at the grassroots.
He, however, called on Muslims to use the Eid-el-Fitr period and to pray for peace and stability in the state and in Nigeria at large.
