Former governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, has donated N10million to the Hausa community in Ile-Ife, Osun State, just as he called on Nigerians to be more tolerant and live in peace with one another.
“We must be our brother’s keepers. We should not be fighting or killing one another,’’ a statement by Bafarawa’s media aide, Yusuf Dingyadi, quoted leader of the delegation, Alhaji Abubakar Sanyinna, as saying.
The statement said the money was handed over to the Chief Imam of Sabo Ile-Ife Juma’at mosque, Sheikh Aminu Imam, in Ile-Ife.
According to the statement, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan described Bafarawa as an embodiment of true democracy.
‘’Bafarawa is a man of honour and peace. He is a builder of bridges. We remain grateful to him”, he said. He urged other prominent Nigerians, to emulate Bafarawa, irrespective of religious, ethnic or political affinity.
