Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin on Sunday donated 61 cars and 1,136 motorcycles to the leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC) at the grassroots in Kano State.

The gesture aims to empower APC members and facilitate grassroots mobilisation for party activities.

Mr Jibrin said during the presentation that the motorcycles were meant for ward chairs, while the cars would go to party leaders, including local government and zonal chairmen.

He also announced plans to empower university graduates with a N5 million loan to start small businesses.

The national chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, commended Mr Jibrin for the donation, saying it would enhance the socioeconomic well-being of party members and promote its ideals.

Mr Ganduje expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for appointing key party members from the state as ministers and to other key positions.

” We appreciate President Tinubu for making it possible to appoint Dr Mariya Bunkure as Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Alhaji Abdullahi Atta as Minister of State for Works and Housing.

” We also thank President Tinubu for appointing Mr. Rabiu Bichi as Managing Director of Hadejia River Basin Development Authority,” he said.

He said the people of Kano State would continue to support the party due to Mr Tinubu’s love for the state.

The state APC chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, praised Mr Jibrin’s empowerment scheme, urging other politicians to provide palliatives to their constituents, especially during Ramadan.

Mr Abbas encouraged party supporters to remain vigilant and focused on winning the 2027 general elections.
