Speaking during the exercise, Barr. Sa’adat explained that her motivation goes beyond ceremony, rooted instead in empathy and civic responsibility.

“Before we can fix Nigeria, we must first feel Nigeria. This is what our religion teaches us; to be there for one another and to support those who need it the most. We will create more programs aimed at empowering women and youth, especially in areas of livelihood, health, and education. As the Gimbiyar Dange, I am shouldered with great responsibility to support my people and those in need.” she said.

Her gesture has since drawn glowing commendations from community leaders, women groups, and political stakeholders, who described her as a bridge between leadership and compassion.

A passionate advocate of inclusive governance, Barr. Sa’adat serves in several strategic roles within the All Progressives Congress (APC), including: Member, APC Operations and Logistics – Women Presidential Campaign Council; Member, Contact and Mobilization Committee – Women PCC; Deputy Director, Administration, APC Amalgamated Support Groups; and National Coordinator,opoo Sa’ar Mata Foundation for Tinubu/Shettima 2023 Presidential Campaign Team, among others.

Through the Sa’ar Mata Foundation, she has empowered hundreds of women and youths across Northern Nigeria through vocational and digital skills training, educational sponsorships, and rights advocacy, the efforts which align seamlessly with her official mandate on poverty reduction in Sokoto State.
