 Shiites Leader, El-Zakzaky Distributes Bags Of Rice To Christian Widows In Kaduna 


As part of its outreach activities to the needy, the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, has distributed rice to Christian widows in Kaduna.


The distribution was facilitated through the General Overseer of Christ Evangelical and Life Intervention Ministry, Pastor Yohanna Buru.


During the distribution yesterday in Kaduna, Pastor Buru said Sheikh El-Zakzaky has made it a tradition to extend food assistance to Muslims and Christians during the Sallah festivities.


He further said that he aimed to promote peace and unity and strengthen interfaith relations in the country.


He emphasised that this initiative aimed to alleviate the suffering caused by fuel subsidy removal, inflation, and the rising cost of food in the country.


He also highlighted Sheikh Ibrahim Yakub El-Zakzaky’s consistent efforts in assisting the less privileged during various festivities, including Ramadan.


Expressing her gratitude, Gloria Musa, one of the widows who received a bag of rice, shared her story, revealing that her household had gone without food for two days.


Despite hearing about the lack of government palliative measures, Gloria Musa lamented and urged authorities to ensure that assistance reaches those in need.


She also called for peace and unity in the country, urging Muslims and Christians to pray for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to succeed.


She equally appealed to Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State to prioritise the welfare of widows and orphans, assuring him of their prayers for the success of his administration.
