Kano: Reactions As NNPP Senator Reportedly Donates Clay Pots, ‘Burial Materials’ To Constituents—The senator representing Kano Central Senatorial District , Rufai Hanga, has reportedly donated 5,000 pieces of white fabric and clay pots to his constituents.

The donation is allegedly intended to help with the burial process for loved ones, in response to the frequent requests for burial assistance from constituents.

Premium Times reports that Dawuud Auwal, one of Hanga’s social media aides, announced the donations on Facebook.

Auwal reportedly wrote, “We are used to these frequent requests from people soliciting money to buy white cloths and clay pots. Some have requested vehicles for transporting the dead.”

The senator, whose district covers 15 Local Government Areas, is an accountant who has been representing Kano Central since 2023, on the platform New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

The Senator’s gesture is said to be in line with the traditional Muslim burial customs observed in the North.

White fabric is traditionally used to wrap the deceased, followed by broken clay pots as the initial covering before burial in sand.

While the donation has garnered positive reactions, it has also sparked some negative feedback on social media platforms.

Monitor constituency project implementation
A pro-Hausa organisation, which uses the handle @VoiceofHausa, said, “This is a constituency project of Sen. Rufa’i Sani Hanga, Senator representing Kano Central.

“Instead of building hospitals, he distributed 5,000 pots and white cloths for the burial of the people of his senatorial District.”

SILAS TAFI-WARWAR, tweeting as @silastafi, said, “I don’t understand…. Is he wishing them dead or something?

“What is the rationale behind this gift or donation? Constituency project or something?

“In the face of hunger, serious hardship and unemployment! This is all He can do?”

A tweep, FAISAL, who identifies as @Iamumarfaisal, said, “This should be his personal assistance to his community as an influential and wealthy person. But making this look [like] a performance index being a Senator is shameless and denigrates the people he represents. We can do better Arewa.”

•Minister Of Power, Adebayo Adelabu WhatsApp Number has been Hacked.

THECLOUDNGR The WhatsApp number of Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has reportedly been hacked, prompting a warning from his spokesperson, Bolaji Tunji.

The announcement was made in a brief notice sent to the Daily Post by Tunji on Thursday night.

Tunji urged Nigerians to ignore any requests for money or financial assistance originating from the compromised phone number, stating, “HM of power number has been hacked on WhatsApp. Kindly disregard any appeal for money or any assistance for financial support through the number 08022901928.”

This incident follows closely on the heels of similar security breaches involving other government officials.

Just six days prior, the WhatsApp number of the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, was hacked, and earlier, the same fate befell the Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Enoh.

TCN recalls that the WhatsApp number of the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno, in August was also hacked by fraudsters, leading to an attempt to defraud several of his contacts.

The incident came to light when some individuals on the governor’s contact list received messages from his WhatsApp number, requesting that money be sent to a specified account with a promise of a refund later.

In a related incident, Osun State Government, in July issued a public alert on the security breach of Governor Ademola Adeleke‘s official telephone number.

Gov Sim Fubara Calls Out IG Of Police, Insist LG Election Must Hold (VIDEO)—-TCN reports that Simanalayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State has told the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun that he would have to shoot him if he tries to stop the local government election coming up in the state on Saturday.

Fubara who spoke angrily in the early hours of today noted that the IGP has been acting unprofessional because of his relationship with ‘One man’ who claims to be in control of Rivers state.

The governor blasted the IGP for attempting to stop election from holding in the state despite the supreme court ruling that said local government chairmen must be elected across every state in Nigeria.

Although there was a court order stopping that stopped INEC from releasing voters register to Rivers state electoral commission, Fubara affirmed that they don’t need voters register and security from the police to conduct the local government election.

He however insisted that the local government election must hold.
