Mammoth crowd welcomes Wali as Buni empowers over 500 youths, women in Yobe South

On Thursday, a large gathering convened in Gadaka, Fika Local Government Area of Yobe State for a significant empowerment event. Over 500 young individuals and women from the Yobe South Senatorial District, or Zone B, were recipients of the initiative. The beneficiaries hailed from all four local government areas within the zone and received a range of assets including motorcycles, tricycles (often referred to as Jega), and sewing machines.

These gifts were aimed at fostering economic inclusion, bolstering small businesses, and establishing sustainable livelihoods for the recipients.

The beneficiaries, along with various stakeholders, attended the event to voice their gratitude for the government's intervention. They viewed the distribution as a crucial step in enhancing economic activities at the grassroots level. The attendees also reiterated their allegiance to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Mai Mala Buni, and the All Progressives Congress (APC), highlighting the administration's investments in infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, and peacebuilding.

During his address at the event, Hon. Baba Mallam Wali, the APC governorship candidate for the state, lauded Governor Buni's economic empowerment projects and promised to continue and strengthen these efforts if elected in the 2027 general elections. He expressed confidence that the programme would be further expanded to encompass more youths and women across Yobe State.

Party leaders present at the gathering affirmed their dedication to reinforcing party unity and striving for the success of the APC at every level, from the State House of Assembly to the highest office in the land - the Presidency.
