Chairman of Yari’s political movement, Alhaji Lawal Liman, handed over some of the cows to beneficiaries in Gusau yesterday. He listed beneficiaries to include Islamic scholars, youth and women groups, the elderly as well as community leaders in the state. “Ten of the 14 local government areas of the state have already collected cows allocated to them,’’ he said.
He commended the former governor for his concern for the people of the state, especially for those at the grassroots.
Liman called on Muslims to spend time during the month of Ramadan to pray for peace and stability of the state and in Nigeria in general.
