The President of Authentic All Stars INT’L Bauchi Patrick Pascal (MON) has expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the Bauchi State Commissioner for Finance, Hon. Dr. Yakubu Adamu, for his continued generosity and support to the group during the Sallah celebrations.
In a message to members, the president who is also the Bauchi State FA Chairman announced that the organization had received a Sallah cow from Dr. Yakubu Adamu as part of his goodwill for the festive season.

“I have been directed to inform all members that officials of Authentic All Stars INT’L Bauchi have received a Sallah cow from Hon. Dr. Yakubu Adamu,” the message read. “Members may wish to know that the same Hon. Dr. Yakubu Adamu gave us ₦700,000 during the last Sallah celebration.”
The group extended its gratitude to Dr. Adamu, noting that his contributions reflect his enduring commitment to community engagement and social support, especially during important cultural and religious occasions.
Members of Authentic All Stars INT’L Bauchi are expected to participate in the sharing and celebration of the gift as they mark the Sallah festival.
