A former governor of Benue State, Senator George Akume, has donated a
giant fish to the senator representing Kaduna Central on the platform
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Shehu Sani.
Akume, who represents Benue North-West senatorial district on the
platform of APC, made the donation weekend at the Tudun Wada residence
of Senator Sani during the seven days fidau prayers of Hajiya Fatima
Sani.
Hajiya Fatima, who is Sani’s mother, passed away penultimate Saturday
at the age of 75 after a brief illness and Senator Akume was among
senators that attended the fidau prayers.
The giant fish, which became the centre of attraction as soon as
Akume’s aides brought it out from the car, was lifted by two men and
taken into Senator Sani’s compound where residents and well-wishers
began taking photographs with their mobile phones.
Earlier, Akume, who came in the same car with Senator Abdullahi Gumel
(APC, Jigawa Northwest), said the number of people that came for the
prayers showed that Senator Sani was a grassroots politician.
The senator, therefore, offered prayers for the repose of the soul of
Hajiya Fatima and urged parents to always ensure good and qualitative
upbringing of their children.
