Ex-governor distributes 370 cows for Eid-El-Kabir

Former Governor of Zamfara State, Abdul’aziz Yari, has procured 370 cows for distribution to executives of the All Progressives Congress (APC), less privileged and vulnerable groups for the 2022 Eid-El-Kabir festival.

Chairman of the Distribution Committee and former APC state chairman, Alhaji Lawal Liman, disclosed this while presenting the allocations of the cows to the beneficiaries in Gusau on Saturday.

The former governor had earlier in the week distributed 3,593 rams to beneficiaries across the state for the same celebration.

Liman said that the gesture was aimed at assisting the less privileged to celebrate the Eid-El-Kabir with ease.

“Other beneficiaries include Islamic scholars, APC youth and women groups, associations as well as community leaders in the state,” Liman said.
