The member representing Ganye, Jada, Toungo, and Mayo-Belwa federal constituency, Hon. Abdulrazak Namdas has donated the sum of N500,000 to Al Irshad Academy in Mayo Belwa for representing the candidature of APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in a playlet recently.

In a video that went viral on social media at the weekend, pupils of the school during its graduation ceremony played the role of Tinubu and his wife, Adamawa state APC governorship candidate, Aishatu Binani, and other top politicians both at state at the national level.

In the playlet, the viral video showed 12-year-old Jafar Bala Usman, a JSS 1 student dressed in agbada and adorning the Tinubu signature cap and eyeglasses arriving at the event alongside his entourage and security men to the admiration of many.

Hon. Namdas who is a strong supporter of the Tinubu/Shettima APC ticket saw the viral video on Facebook and was impressed by the creativity of the pupils who are members of his constituency.

The lawmaker who chairs the community on the army then asked a delegation to visit the school and gift the sum of N100,000 each to the boy who played the role of Tinubu, his wife, and the girl who played the role of Aishatu Binani. He also gifted the school the sum of N200, 000 and encouraged them to continue to impart the ideal of democracy and peaceful coexistence to the students.

Senior legislative aide to Hon. Namdas, Husseini Sanda while presenting the cash gift to the students, and the school appreciates the management for supporting APC and also allowing their students to represent the party’s presidential candidate in their playlet.
“This demonstration has shown the acceptability of the APC presidential candidate at the grassroots and how much the young once here love our party’s presidential flag bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Sanda said.

He added that Namdas appreciated the school for instilling political knowledge into the children which he believes will spur them to aspire to be true and good leaders in the future.

“The cash donation is to inspire the pupils and also encourage the school to continue with the good work they are doing in the area of creating political awareness to the students at a tender age. This I believe will help them in the future,” he said.

The principal of the school, Suleiman Njobdi said the decision to use Tinubu in the playlet was born out of the love they have for him. “Tinubu is someone who has helped a lot of people and transformed Lagos when he was governor. I am confident that if he becomes president in 2023, he will change the fortune of this country for good,” Njobdi said.

The young Tinubu and the school management appreciate Namdas for reaching out to them and assured him of their continuous support.
