Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) , presidential candidate has donated N50 million to victims of bandit attacks taking refuge in Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in Katsina State.
Atiku announced the donation when he paid homage to the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Dr Abdulmuminu Kabir-Usman at his palace.
He sympathised with the people of the state and other states within the North West over security and other challenges ravaging them.
The PDP presidential candidate vowed to tackle security and economic challenges facing the North if elected president in the 2023 general elections.
“I sympathise with the people of Katsina and other northern states that are facing security and economic challenges. I want to assure you that if elected as president of Nigeria, I will end all these challenges”.
“On behalf of myself, I donate the sum of N50 million to victims of banditry in the state who have relocated to other places as a result of bandits attacks in their communities,” Atiku said.
Alhaji Dr Abdulmumini Kabir Usman, the Emir of Katsina, while responding said the emirate will only pray and support candidates willing to end the menace of banditry and other vices bedevilling the state and other parts of the North.
He lauded Atiku’s initiatives and willingness to tackle the evils of insecurity and poverty in the country if elected president in 2023.
