Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president and PDP presidential candidate, gave the flood victims at Kantin Kwari, a well-known textile market in Kano, a donation of 50 million naira.

“Kano is a renowned 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 the heavy downpour.
“I also wish to use this opportunity to donate the sum of N50 million to those affected by the unfortunate situation” he stated.
