The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, donated 370 bags of corn flour and ₦500,000 on Monday to the Zamfara State Female Ulamah Association.
The donations, according to a news release signed by Yusuf Idris Gusau, the Director New Media for the Zamfara State Presidential Campaign Council (ZMPCC), were announced and made by the ZMPCC Coordinator, Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, during a one-day seminar organised by the Zamfara State Female Ulamah Association in collaboration with the Zamfara State Zakkat and Endowment Board.
Marafa, who served as a special guest at the seminar, charged Islamic scholars to educate people, especially Muslims, on the need to elect credible leaders that will ensure national development according to the teachings of Islam, where all people live in harmony.
He said the president and vice president combination of Tinubu and his running mate Kashim Shettima is a well-balanced one that will guarantee freedom of religion and worship for all beliefs across the country.
According to him, those against the ticket are hypocrites who are only bent on destabilising the political arrangement of power shifting from one region to another.
He thereby charged Islamic scholars in Nigeria to intensify their efforts in preaching peace, unity, and justice, which will lead to the complete return of peace in the country.
Marafa described the female in Da’awa as one of the Islamic tools that will mobilize and educate the electorate in the forthcoming elections and lead to the enshrinement of credible leaders like Tinubu and Shettima and unify the country politically, economically, and socially.
Marafa also commended the Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle for his constant support and encouragement for all Islamic activities in the state.
The senator, who was represented by Aminu Jelani, the Zamfara State House of Assembly candidate for Gusau One Constituency, thanked the organisers for inviting him to such a very important and educative seminar that has direct bearing on mankind in the political arena.
The Seminar was attended by Sheikh Ahmad Umar Kanoma, Sheikh Abubakar Muhammad Sodangi, Sheikh Dr. Aliyu Sani Jangebe and many Islamic scholars within and outside the state.
