committee on behalf of Atiku at his campaign office in Minna on Thursday.
Also, the senatorial candidate
of the party in the Zone B, Ibrahim Ishaku; House of Representatives candidate,
Audu Buba; and state House of Assembly candidate, Kabiru Jazu, jointly donated
N1m to support the fire victims.
Receiving
the cash on behalf of the traders, the Chairman of the market committee, Mallam
Shehu Wawo, thanked Atiku and other donors for their benevolence, and pledged
that the money would be given to the victims.
Also, the market supervisor,
Mallam Ado Garba, while thanking the donors, pleaded with the state government
and individuals to render more assistance to the victims.
