In another development, TimesNow.com.ng reported earlier that Rufai Sani Hanga has countered critics who condemned his recent donations to the people in his constituency.
The Kano lawmaker disclosed that the gesture was something he had been doing even before his election in 2023.
Senator Hanga came under heavy criticism recently for donating clay pots and burial materials, an act of kindness many perceived as irrelevant.
