Hajiya Maryam Aliyu Wadada, wife of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State, Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, has donated ₦10 million to support flood victims in the riverine communities of Doma South.

The donation was announced on Tuesday during a solidarity visit to Rukubi, where Hajiya Maryam, alongside Hon. Musa Ibrahim of Doma South, met with victims of the recent flooding that devastated homes, farmlands and livelihoods in the area.

Speaking during the visit, Hajiya Maryam said the humanitarian support was to stand with the people at a difficult moment, listen to their concerns, appreciate the devastating impact of the flooding and provide meaningful relief to affected families.

She said the visit was more than a political engagement, noting that it was a moral duty to identify with the victims and assure them that they were not alone.

According to her, the Wadada family remains committed to the welfare of the people of Nasarawa State, particularly vulnerable communities facing hardship.

The ₦10 million donation was distributed as follows:
