It’s truly mind-boggling and disheartening to hear about the recent actions of a Nigerian Senator. Senator Rufai Hanga, instead of focusing on meaningful and impactful initiatives, has chosen to engage in actions that are not only bizarre but also deeply inappropriate.

To start with, the idea of empowering constituents with clay pots is not just perplexing but also raises serious questions about the Senator’s understanding of what constitutes real empowerment.

Clay pots, while they may have cultural significance in certain contexts, are hardly a practical or effective means of empowerment in today’s world.

Furthermore, the donation of white fabrics specifically for burying the dead in Kano is not only distasteful but also insensitive. It reflects a lack of empathy and understanding of the needs and priorities of the community. Empowerment should encompass initiatives that improve the quality of life, provide education and opportunities, and foster sustainable development, rather than trivial or inappropriate gestures.

In essence, these actions not only fall short of the expectations placed on public figures but also highlight a disconnect between leadership and the genuine needs of the people. It’s crucial for leaders to prioritize responsible and meaningful initiatives that truly benefit and uplift their constituents.
