The former Commissioner, yesterday during the closure of the disbursement, challenged the wealthy and well meaning Kwarans to toe the path set by Sen. Saraki by assisting the needy in the society, while he prayed God to continue to enrich and guide the Senate President towards his philanthropic gestures as well as new national assignment.
