Former Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, received a rousing welcome from thousands of constituents in Yobe North Senatorial District on Friday, as stated by his media adviser, Ezrel Tabiowo, in Abuja.
They gathered at the Wachakal airstrip as Lawan arrived from Abuja, ahead of his planned distribution of 9,000 bags of grains as palliatives to his constituents across five local government areas (LGAs).
Tabiowo’s statement reads in part: “The former Senate President during his tenure between 2019 and 2023 facilitated the reconstruction of the airstrip.

“The approval for the revival of the Wachakal airstrip – one previously considered the hub for local and foreign missions within the North East region – was given by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration in August 2021.
Lawan, who is visiting Yobe North Senatorial District, is set to flag-off the distribution of palliatives to his constituents by his foundation – The Senator Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan (SAIL) Empowerment Foundation, on Saturday.
“Lawan’s foundation is set to distribute 9,000 bags of grains to constituents in 60 wards across the five local government areas in Yobe North.
“The intervention is in support of efforts by the Yobe State government and the Federal government to ease the hardship faced by the people.”
