Senior Counsel Ahmednassir Abdullahi, popularly known as Grand Mullah, is now emerging as a favourite chief guest at fundraisers after raising colossal amounts just two weeks apart.
In his latest effort, the lawyer helped raise Ksh36 million in fundraiser held at Rhamu in Mandera North on Sunday, November 15.
The fundraiser had been organised in an effort to raise money for the construction of Masjid Jamia and Islamic Centre in the area.
The event, where the Senior Counsel was the chief guest, was attended by Mandera Governor Ali Roba alongside his Laikipia Counterpart Ndiritu Muriithi together with a host of other leaders.
"With Ahmednassir as the chief guest, we today fundraised for Masjid Jamia and Islamic Centre in Rhamu, Mandera North. Alhamdulilah, we managed to raise a total of Ksh 36 million. Asante (Thank you) SC and all the participants," celebrated Roba.
"From raising millions for a Northern Kenya political party to raising over 36Million to a mosque in Mandera today, SC Ahmednassir is truly a leader.
"You don’t have to be elected to be a leader. The Grand Mullah is an epitome of what hard work, dedication and discipline means," added businessman Ahmed Mohammed, popularly Asmali.
This comes just two weeks after the Senior Counsel helped United Democratic Movement Party (UDM), a party headed by Roba, previously belonging to DP William Ruto, raise Ksh34 million.
On October 31, the party had scheduled a fundraiser event that took place at a high-end hotel in Nairobi.
