Bashir Ahmed, the personal assistant on new media to President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that the President had received gold bars and precious stones from Zamfara state Governor, Bello Matawalle.
Bashir said the governor on Monday, August 24 presented the gold bars and precious stones which were mined from Zamfara state to President Buhari.
He added that Governor Matawalle was accompanied by Alhaji Bashir Hadejia during the presentation at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Also, governor Matawalle in a tweet said: “I presented specimens of gold and other precious minerals unearthed from solid minerals deposits in Zamfara State to the President & C-in-C of Armed Forces H.E. @MBuhari at Presidential Villa, Abuja.”
However, the President’s special assistant noted that the country has enormous potential for greatness as he also imagined how great the country would have been if such moves had started at least 20 years ago.
