Reason I Donated Clay Pots, White Fabrics To My Constituents – Senator Hanga
The Senator representing Kano Central Senatorial District, Rufai Hanga has explained the reason why he donated 2,000 clay pots and 10,500 yards of white cloth (called ‘Likkadani’ in Hausa) to the Muslim graveyards in his constituency.
Osun Defender had reported that the NNPP Senator, who is the Deputy Minority Chief Whip of the 10th Senate came under criticism, particularly from political oppositions, when he donated the materials to 15 local government areas in his senatorial zone last week.
But Hanga who said those materials were not part of his constituency project, explained that the gesture was to please God and seek His eternal reward.

He said his opposition has been spreading misinformation out of hatred and malice.
According to him, the gesture was something he had been doing even before his election.
He maintained that it was a family legacy he grew up to see and inherited, hoping to continue to sustain it throughout his time on earth.
“We made the donation to the Kano State Committee for the Graveyards, headed by Dangoribar Kano and District head of Tarauni Local Government. We had found out that clay pots were lacking in most of our graveyards and decided to donate.”
