"Dear @ProfZulum this gesture of distribution money & food is laudable. I think this could even be better if well organized & institutionalized. Create a Dept of Social Services with mandate to provide cash & food assistance to the poor based on established eligibility criteria."

@WAderinkomi said:

"Is this man from another planet? He's so close to his people. The other day, he stopped to help women gathering firewood. He must have thought about their safety. God bless you, Gov Zulum."

@ridwan_alaba commented:

"What a special man! May Allah continue to guide and protect him. Well done to you too for the positivity. Jazaka-Allah Khaeran sir."
