Senator Rufai Hanga of Kano Central District has made a controversial donation of 500,000 clay pots and 500,000 plain white cloths to assist constituents in burying their dead.
The donation, announced by one of Hanga's social media aides, Dawuud Auwal, was prompted by frequent requests from constituents for burial assistance.
The clay pots and white cloths are traditionally used by Muslims for enshrouding corpses before burial, with specific wrapping requirements based on gender. According to Auwal, such requests for burial materials are common, often including appeals for financial assistance for transportation.
In addition to the burial materials, Hanga's aide highlighted other initiatives by the senator, including scholarships for students and assistance with exam registration. However, the donation has sparked mixed reactions on social media.
Some critics questioned the senator's priorities, suggesting that resources could have been allocated to more pressing needs like healthcare or poverty alleviation. Others viewed the donation as a personal rather than official gesture, criticizing its portrayal as a constituency project.
Negative feedback on social media has ranged from disbelief to outright condemnation, with some users questioning the rationale behind the donation in the face of broader societal challenges such as hunger and unemployment.
Despite the senator's efforts to support constituents, the donation has ignited debate about effective representation and allocation of resources in the community.
