A political support group, Tinubu/Dikko Assured, on Wednesday donated ₦11 million in cash and 95 bags of rice to party executives of the All Progressives Congress in Katsina.

The distribution, held in Katsina, aimed to support party leaders and stakeholders during the holy month of Ramadan.

The group’s director-general and founder, Umar Ahmad-Zayyad, said the distribution exercise would be supervised by members of the TDA State Steering Committee.

He said the gesture was part of the group’s continued commitment to strengthening the party’s grassroots structure while supporting loyal party executives.

He further assured that the party’s structure in Katsina LGA and the state in general remains intact, adding that it had mobilised ahead of future political engagements.

Mr Ahmad-Zayyad described the outreach as part of a sustained effort to consolidate party unity and reinforce grassroots mobilisation in line with the objectives of the Tinubu/Dikko 2027 Project.

He described Ramadan as a period of sacrifice, compassion and generosity, adding that the initiative was designed to cushion the economic burden on party officials and their families during the fasting period.

According to the breakdown provided at the ceremony, five bags of rice and ₦500,000 were distributed across each of the 12 Wards in the Katsina council area.

In addition, 15 bags of rice and ₦2 million were presented to the Katsina council executives to support their activities and welfare.

Similarly, 20 bags of rice alongside ₦3 million were handed over to the party executives as part of the broader intervention package.

Party leaders who received the items expressed appreciation to Ahmad-Zayyad for what they described as a timely and thoughtful intervention.

Other beneficiaries who spoke at the occasion pledged their continued loyalty and support to the party’s leadership at both the state and national levels.
