PLATEAU – Rep. Yusuf Gagdi (APC-Plateau) has donated N80 million and 71 rams to his constituents to celebrate this year’s Eid-el-kabir.
Gagdi, representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency of the state, presented the items to the beneficiaries on Thursday night in Dengi, Kanam Local Government Area.
According to him, the gesture aims at ensuring that his people, particularly the less privileged ones, celebrate the Eid-el-kabir with ease.
He maintained that the cash and other items would be distributed to the people devoid of party and ethnic affiliations.
“Eid-el-Kabir is not just a festivity, but a divine reminder that the truest form of sacrifice is not in the slaughtering of animals, but in the surrendering of pride, selfishness, and personal comfort for the sake of others.
“It is about giving when it hurts, standing tall when others are falling, and doing good even when no one is watching.
“This is why I choose to mark this year’s celebration by extending N80 million and 71 rams to support the people across my constituency.
“This gesture cuts across party structures, religious organisations, traditional institutions, youth and women groups, community influencers.
“But most importantly, the downtrodden among us who might have otherwise gone through this holy season in silence and pain,”he said.
Gagdi, however, called on his constituents and the entire citizens of Plateau to use the festive season to pray for peace in the state and Nigeria at large.(NAN)
