The former governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 general elections in Adamawa state, Senator Aisha Dahiru Binani, has donated N50 million to the flood victims in Borno state.
Announcing the donation when she led a delegation of party leaders, supporters and well-wishers to Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, in Maiduguri, Binani said her intervention was borne out of the need to render service to humanity.
“We pray that such calamity would never befall anyone again, wherever we are. We all know through history that the people of Borno state have a high capacity for resilience. We pray to Almighty Allah to make them overcome this tragedy as quickly as possible.
“We also pray to God to have mercy on those that have lost their lives, grant them Aljanna firdaus and comfort their families and loved ones,” she said.
In his response, Governor Zulum thanked Binani for making it to Maiduguri despite the weather challenges that prevented her from landing in Maiduguri Monday.
He said: “Let me inform you that Binani on Monday took a flight to Maiduguri but they couldn’t land because of bad weather so they returned to Abuja.”
