Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president and PDP presidential candidate, has given N50 million to flood victims at Kantin Kwari, a well-known textile market in Kano.
According to SEMA, a flood caused by a downpour destroyed materials worth over N200 million and affected about 200 shops.
Delivering a speech at the residence of Malam Ibrahim Shekarau who recently dumped the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Atiku announced his donation to the victims, describing Kano as a renown commercial centre.
“Kano is a renown commercial centre that has its marks in the economy. “I wish to use this opportunity to console victims of the unfortunate flood that was necessitated by heavy down pour.
“I also wish to use this opportunity to donate the sum of N50 million to those affected by the unfortunate situationâ€
