The Katsina Lawmaker Who Sent His Children To A Public School

Discovering and empowering the "golden
eaglets" of Kastina
The Katsina State Minority Leader in the
state house of assembly, Hon Abdullahi
Mahuta had this touching story to share
with us.......
Last week after the Sallah break, my two
children, who I transferred to a public
school in Katsina, said they would not go
back to school with their canvas and sandal
shoes. They insisted that they would only
be wearing bathroom slippers to school
because all their friends in the school are
using same to school and that some come
to school without shoes .
Initially I told their mother to allow them to
use the slippers, but my little daughter
advised: "Father, pls buy sandals for all the
pupils in the school so that my brothers
can also wear sandals". I thought I could
not buy sandals for all the pupils in that
school. I called the headmaster and asked
him the number of students in the school.
He told me they are about 800. After a
rough calculation, I realized that it will cost
about N230,000 only to buy a pair of
sandals and white socks for every child in
the school.
Alhamdulillah! Yesterday, by the will of
Allah, I bought and distributed the sandals
for all the 800 children in the school. And
today we are also in sha Allah, we are
going to distribute for all the students of
another primary school at Tsamiya mai
Lamba village, at Gora ward in Malumfashi
LGA.
Just imagine, if only the 34 members of
KTHA, 34 LG chairmen and the about 40
commissioners and SAs will do the same,
over 100,000 pupils would be saved from
the problems of (Sanyi, Kaya da kusoshin
da ka iya ji ma yara ciwo) meaning thorns
and cracked legs
I therefore call on you the people to insist
that all public office holders enroll their
children into public schools to be friends,
help, give hope and play together with the
children of the poor. among us.
Attached is his picture, putting on sandals
for one of the pupils..we are indeed proud
of this scion of the APC
