Sanusi Gamji Donates Borehole to Gwagwalada Community

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State, Alhaji Sanusi Abubakar, has donated a borehole to Kaida village in Gwagwalada area council of the FCT.

Inspecting the borehole last week Thursday, the aspirant in the last Kogi governorship election, said the donation was an “act of service to humanity.”

He said he has done it in his village in Kogi and he saw the need to do same in other villages where people fetch water from streams.

“I saw that most communities in the FCT go to the streams to fetch water for drinking, bathing and even cooking. I felt that was not right and I have to do my little bit to try and change the situation,” he said.

Abubakar added that water was essential and he would ensure his foundation donates boreholes to as many communities as possible.

Residents of the village were excited over their new gift as women and children gathered to fetch water from the Indian Mac 2 hand pump borehole, which the contractor said releases 300 litres a minute.

Kaida, Aso Chronicle gathered, is over 100 years old but it was the first time it had the luxury of drinking water from a borehole.

Situated about one and a half kilometres off the yet-to-be completed Gwagwalada-Dobi-Izom road and just about  the same distance from Dobi, the country home of the House of Representatives member for Abuja South Constituency, Alhaji Zakari Angulu Dobi, the Gbari community does not have a healthcare centre.

Receiving the politician in his palace, Sarkin Kaida, Alhaji Yakubu Magaji said the borehole was God sent and promised that he will continue to pray for their benefactor till eternity.

He said before now, water and a healthcare facility were among the most essential needs of the agrarian community.

“This is what we want and we are grateful to you. We will continue to pray so that Allah will continue to bless you. You will enjoy good health and prosperity so that you can extend this gesture to other communities,” the village chief said.

He assured that the community, which he said, has about 5, 000 people will make judicious use of the borehole.

Meanwhile, Abubakar asked the village chief to keep in touch with the engineer who dug the borehole so that whenever there is a breakdown, he would make repairs immediately.

The case of Ahmed Awela, Murtala (Eti Bobo) among other Ebira youths

Ismail M. Kabir, Lagos. Between controversial existence and a contentious exit. There are various sides to a story. For an event that happens with few or no significant eye witness, the news come in different versions; some partially correct, others completely cooked up. In some cases, such non-witnessed event pass round as rumour until eventually confirmed. Rumour it was, when a phone call from Okene announced the death of two famous Ebira youths! They were killed by the Police, reported the news. Being on a Sunday when nothing too special should ensue save for the usual church services and social functions, the news sounded as the most unexpected, as a matter of fact, incredible! The thought of losing such youths on an ordinary day like Sunday undoubtedly was the reason for the astonishment. Not a single person of Ebira origin, within or outside the soil would believe such shocker upon first hearing. Text messages, phone calls and of course physical enquiries lingered, all in an atte
