CELEBRATING A MAN OF FAR-REACHING HAND OF PHILANTHROPY. Philip B. Adams

Alh. Sadiq Mohammed, the former deputy chairman of Nigeria Pilgrims Board, chairman of Shamad Concept Nigeria Limited, chairman of Nigeria Airlines (Kabo Air), and chairman of Ashma Investment Nigeria Limited among others, is not only a name in Ganye Chiefdom and beyond, but he is also the force to be reckoned with in Nigeria.


Walin Ganye is indeed worth celebrating due to His untiring support to different kinds of people demand who either called him on the phone or thronged to his residence for help, employing thousands of families, and helping the weak ones who were unjustly treated in all spheres of life – there is no doubt that Walin Ganye shares the same thoughts with the Egyptian business magnate, Mohamed Al-Fayed, when the latter said, “I will continue to distribute blankets, sleeping bags, warm clothing, and food regularly my modest efforts will give some comfort to those people we can help.”


With his willing hands of help, Mohammed Sadiq has transformed the lives of many people regardless of their political, ethnic, and religious affiliations, and he is always in search of any opportunity to do much more. Although born in Ganye Local Government of Adamawa State, Walin Ganye’s far-reaching hands of compassion and philanthropy have left an unforgettable imprint in the lives of many people not only in his chiefdom but Nigeria as a whole.


As a patriotic son of Ganye chiefdom, his influence on the polity had kept the chiefdom politically relevant. He is quite a distinctive leader with an enthralling and captivating personality. Alhaji Sadiq Mohammed (WALIN GANYE) is a fascinating personality who has kept pace with his people. He is one of the consistent political leaders in Ganye chiefdom who cannot be isolated from his people.
He is a leader who derives his strength and courage from the joy and challenges of his people to do more to improve their living conditions.
Ganye Chiefdom is lucky to have a personality like Sadiq Mohammed who worked his fingers to the bones to assist and create job opportunities for the people of his chiefdom and beyond. He has in recent years created an avenue of renovating Ganye General Hospital where many young married and unmarried men have gotten some respite from their financial woes. The union of Road Transport Workers, traders, and some commercial vehicle drivers in Ganye’s chiefdom will also forever remain grateful to Alh Sadiq Mohammed (Waling Ganye) for giving them car/cash loans to invest and get their daily bread. It was gathered from the source that most of the beneficiaries have not remit up to half of the money but they were allowed to possess the cars. This is amazing, it takes a generous person who is impelled by the kismet of concern for his people to do that.


His consistency in politics and impressive attributes sustained his followership and respect among his people. His humanitarian gesture among Muslim and Christian festivities is glaring.
Walin Ganye is a politician who spent the rest of his life interacting and intermingling with the masses windings enabled him to see for himself the challenges of poverty, and estitution and always spurred him to look for responsible and compassionate politicians who mitigate the miserable lives of the masses.
In the political realm, Sadiq Mohammed’s mentorship is another accentuating area that cannot be ignored especially in Ganye Chiefdom. The crop of politicians in the likes of Hon. Benedict Danki, Rev. Habila m Istifanus, Buba Wole, Wukumi Charles Bansi, Barr A.T Shehu, the Adamawa State PDP Chairman, and lots of other politicians who occupied Party executive and political offices of different magnitude before and now were aided and sponsored by him.
As a generous and selfless elder statesman, Walin Ganye stands shoulder-high among his contemporaries. He is without a doubt, a well-known and respected figure in Ganye’s chiefdom, the State, and the country in general. With his right roadmap and determination to always placate the miserable lives of the masses, he has already succeeded in writing his name in gold.
