The Governor further expressed the State Government’s tremendous happiness over the sincerity of the pilgrim.
“The entire people of Zamfara State are proud and happy over what Hajiya Aishatu did in Saudi Arabia. It has added to the good name of the entire people of Zamfara. It is an honor for us to Hajiya Aisha, she has written her name in the good books of history. Such a gesture is expected of any faithful Muslim, especially in a holy land.
“We have seen a clear example of honesty worth emulating from Hajiya Aisha, believe me, not everyone can find such a huge amount of money at a place where there was no one, and return it. The Zamfara State Government would do the needful to help the family of Hajiya Aisha. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will also honor Hajiya Aisha for this act of honesty.”
