Zamfara State Government has sent 97 clerics to Saudi Arabia on Lesser Hajj to pray against banditry.

The government said the decision was part of efforts to restore peace and security in the State and Nigeria.

The clerics are to engage in prayer sessions in strategic holy places of worship in the cities of Makkah and Madina.

Deputy Governor Hassan Nasiha addressed them before their departure, NAN reports.

A cleric, Dr Atiku Balarabe briefed the pilgrims on how best to go about their worship and prayers in Saudi Arabia.

Balarabe said they must concentrate on the prayers because millions of people put their trust in them.

Recently, the Zamfara government gave more than 200 Cadillac vehicles (2019 model) to traditional rulers.

The distribution was widely condemned, with critics questioning the amount spent and the importance of the donation.

Lol ... This man is so wasteful and bereft of ideas, from buying expensive 260 Cadillac escalade for traditional ruler's to sending 97 clerics to Saudi to pray against banditry, it's obvious Matawalle was never ready for that position but thanks to Supreme Court.

Oh! Nigeria. I comment my reserve.

waste of public funds. abeg tell urself the truth,who are those behind the insecurity

Chaii 97 cleric because of 2023 election, ZAMFARA people don enter one chance and it's only almighty Allah that can deliver them in the hands of their governor.

Lwkmd and the bandits will strike tomorrow.

U leave the solution and start chasing shadows

Chai! What cluelessness and idiocy. Wasting the available taxpayers money on frivolity. These leaders are really sickening in their myopic thinking.

What is all this

Is alright.....

He knows what he he is doing.

Not for security purpose but for election purpose. Those clerics have influence over their members. The choice of the clerics is the choice of the people.

If is finished for the NOT.

Zamfara, when a state has a windfall from economy of the south, then, she can afford to waste it!

Our leaders don kolo, instead make dem give dem good RPG to dislodge boko haram, terrorists and bandits. We dey waste money be small. De money go build 10 class rooms.
