The Wadada family has reiterated its commitment to the welfare of the people of Nasarawa State, particularly vulnerable communities facing hardship, as Hajiya Maryam Aliyu Wadada, wife of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the state, Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, donated ₦10 million to support victims of flooding in the riverine communities of Doma South.

The donation was announced on Tuesday during a solidarity visit to Rukubi, where Hajiya Maryam, accompanied by Hon. Musa Ibrahim of Doma South, met with residents affected by the recent flooding that destroyed homes, farmlands and sources of livelihood.

Speaking during the visit, Hajiya Maryam said the intervention was aimed at identifying with affected families, listening to their concerns and providing meaningful assistance to ease their hardship.

She described the visit as more than a political engagement, stressing that it was a moral responsibility to stand with the people during difficult times and reassure them that they were not alone.

According to her, the Wadada family remains committed to supporting the people of Nasarawa State, especially vulnerable communities experiencing challenging circumstances.

The ₦10 million donation was distributed in two categories, with ₦6 million earmarked for direct assistance to flood victims to address their immediate needs, while ₦4 million was allocated to the electoral wards, with each ward receiving ₦1 million.

Hon. Musa Ibrahim commended Hajiya Maryam for the donation, describing it as a timely intervention and a demonstration of concern for the welfare of residents affected by the disaster.

Residents of Rukubi, who came out in large numbers to welcome the delegation, expressed appreciation for the financial support.

Some of the residents also declared their support for Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada’s 2027 governorship ambition, with enthusiastic chants of “Rukubi for Wadada! Wadada Gwamna 2027!” during the visit.

The visit provided an opportunity for the delegation to interact with affected communities and acknowledge the challenges confronting families following the devastating floods.
