Answer Details
Abbas the beggar in Ahmed Yerima's Attahiru is a symbol of "the rich also crying." Abbas was once a rich man, but he lost all his wealth and became a beggar. He represents the idea that even the rich and powerful can fall from grace and end up in a state of poverty and helplessness. Thus, his character is a reminder that everyone, regardless of their status in society, is susceptible to misfortune and should be treated with kindness and empathy.
