Covid-19: Reps member distributes 5m, 550 bags of 20kg of rice to constituents 

In his characteristic philanthropy and responsiveness to the plights of his constituents, Rt Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, the member representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency has distributed #5 million cash to the less privileged, physically challenged, widows and orphans in his constituency as palliatives to cushion the crunchy fangs of the coronavirus pandemic they are faced with that has devastating effects on world economy.

The lawmaker who had reached out to his constituents and social media activists a fortnight ago, specifically targeted the less privileged this time around, given their peculiar situations.

Beneficiaries of the palliative who are drawn from the 58 state electoral wards across the 3 local government areas comprising the PKK constituency, were picked without recourse to religious or party affiliations.

Distribution of the palliative were done at the headquarters of the 3 local government areas, with the local government council chairmen of Pankshin and Kànke in attendance respectively.

The visibly elated downtown beneficiaries were full of praises to the lawmaker for remembering them at this difficult moment and prayed God to reward him according to His riches in glory.

Gagdi said regardless of his position as their representative in the National Assembly, it is his intrinsic characteristic to help anyone in need, and that if people that are physically strong could scramble for palliative because of the harsh economic reality in the country, it has become incumbent on him to reachout to the physically challenged, widows and orphans in his constituency.

Two physically challenged persons were drawn from each of the 58 electoral wards in the Constituency were given 10k cash each, as well as a widow and orphan in each of the wards. This was attached with 2 bags of grains to each each of the 58 electoral wards of PKK.

In the spirit of the Sallah celebration coming up tomorrow, the lawmaker distributes 400 bags of 20kg rice as to the Muslims within the constituency. 

All APC Exco at LGA, ward Party Chairmen numbering about 87 got #10,000 each.

Some Political stakeholders in the Constituency who are Muslems also benefitted from the lawmakers gesture tending to assist them in the Sallah preparations.
