Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawallen-Maradun has approved the purchase of 750 cows worth N83 million for the celebration of Eid-El-Fitr Sallah in the northwestern Nigerian state.

A statement by the Director, Press Affairs, Idris Yusuf Gusau, said the 750 cows are to be distributed to the less privileged, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), orphans and widows in the state as part of the present administration’s commitments to improve the welfare of the people.

The governor urged the people of the state to use the ongoing Ramadan fast and the coming Eid-El-Fitr Sallah periods to pray for peace, stability and development of the state.

FTC, this man will miss_use this privilege giving to him by divin intervention. what a waste.

Cows are very expensive. One healthy grown up cow can cost 200k

oh common what a misplaced priority, this man as I'm looking at him wi worse pass yeye bello of kogi.
let the embezzlement begins.

With my calculation, one coz costs Approximately 102,000... but what will they use to chow the cow?

He should get down to real governance pls
While its good to care for the IDPs, it more important to tackle the factors that made them homeless in the first instance

After they eat the cows what next ?

At least if they eat they'll have strength to ask this same question u asked

Waste of money
If them no chop cow Dem go die?

Na only Zamfara state issue be most important now? Do you mean that other northern governors have no budget for this celebration? Give us account of other governors budget before we judge.

Misplaced priority! I can now vividly see the reason why this man was rejected at the poll.

How many people go chop am... let's say meat-sharing, 1 cow for 30 people x 750

PDP HAS DONE IT AGAIN! share 1m to 83m persons nd change their lives!!

What a waste...
You spend N83 million on a feast, while millions of your state’s kids are out of school.

Even if they use that money for a Skill Acquisition Center or program, it would be more productive.

These our governors are just like us. When you lack ideas or have no great plans. What do you do with your money? You spend it anyhow.

Big cows can go up to around 500k. All the same this is misplaced priority. It shows the state is going back to stomach infrastructure policy of yarima era. Spending Money on frivolities without any meaningful project to back up the state.
Heard he is going to pay attention to building airport. What a waste of resources.

Stomach infrastructure indeed, instead of empowering the poor by teaching them how to catch fish, we choose to give them fish for a day and wish they come back again. Naija I hail O!

85m to govs is like 100k we should be glad atleast he is spending on the less privilege if he decided to embezzle the money nko,

This Zamfara State Governor will likely be the most useless Governor at the end of their tenure.

No be him wan build airport ?

Sense will always be far from these so called leaders

I am sure he have not appointed advisers yet.

PDP way of life tire person..... na prayer we dey take guide our own Seyi gra gra makinde.

He doesn't even have his own budget yet he is spending 83million crude oil money on Meat for a day feast, knowing fully well there is no way to ascertain the numbers of cows killed and shared.

The Poorest state in Nigeria proposing an Airport, so that the elites can perfectly rule dem from abuja




On the positive side, i think he wants to bribe the killer herdsmen by buying their cows. Thats their own hush hush money for making Zamfara ungovernable for APC and for suddenly seizing fire in zamfara since PDP won.. they are now battling katsina




.

The same governor that wants to build an airport? After eating the cows �, what next? This man don’t know a damn thing about governance or how to ease the pain of the masses

why cant they give them the money instead of buying cows

Northern elites are very wicked. What will a meal solve for a state that has one of the highest illiteracy rates? 83 million Naira can be used to build standard school across three or four local government. Misplaced priority, This is another means for politicians to loot our treasury.

Why not empower them with something more reasonable.

Northern leaders and ridiculous way of thinking.

That was how one made construction of airport a first project... Like seriously.... SMH

Firstly it was commissioning of an airport runway and now it's cows for sallah celebration. Does this man know the duties before him as a Governor at all?

Zamfara don enter one chance
