Hon. Abubakar Aminu Ibrahim, the Senior Legislative Aide (SLA) to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajuddeen Abbas, has donated cash to APC leaders and supporters in Dala Local Government to support them during Ramadan.

The event, which was held on Thursday in Dala Local Government Area of Kano aimed at appreciating party members for their dedication and efforts.

Speaking at the gathering, Abubakar emphasized the importance of party leaders, describing them as the backbone of any political organization.

He said, “These are the people who struggle for the victory of any political party. That is why it is necessary to go back and support them.”

As part of the initiative, the Committee of Elders of APC in Dala Local Government received ₦1 million, the APC chairman received ₦100,000, and the party’s secretary got ₦30,000.

Additionally, 25 APC executives were given ₦20,000 each, while women leaders, persons with disabilities, and 300 ward leaders received ₦10,000 each, among others.

Abubakar assured that this initiative was just the beginning, promising continued support for the party’s members and leaders in the local government.

He added, “Less than two months ago, I paid JAMB registration fees for 350 students in Dala. I will also sponsor candidates for WAEC and NECO, and those who perform well in JAMB will be sponsored to universities of their choice.”

The Kano APC chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, represented by the party’s PRO, Ahmad S. Aruwa, commended Abubakar’s generosity and urged other politicians to emulate him.

Abdullahi Abbas said, “If we had three people like Abubakar, Kano would not be the same.”

He also criticized the ruling NNPP, claiming they had not provided similar support to the people of Kano.

APC Kano Women Leader, Hajiya Fatima Abdullahi, praised Abubakar for prioritizing women in his support.

“Sixty percent of the beneficiaries are women. Women play a key role in elections. Whoever they support will win, by the grace of God,” she stated.

She emphasized that women are the foundation of political success, as they are actively involved in mobilization and grassroots campaigns. She highlighted their role in attending rallies, canvassing support door-to-door, and ensuring their families remain loyal to the party.

She further praised Abubakar for recognizing the contributions of women, noting that his generosity would ease their burden, especially during Ramadan.

“This support will help women provide for their families, buy food, and take care of their children. When you empower women, you empower entire households. That is why I am particularly happy that women received the majority of this support,” she added.

She called on other politicians to follow Abubakar’s example by prioritizing women, stressing that those who support women will always earn their loyalty in return.

Ibrahim Hamza Ibrahim, APC leader of Bakin Ruwa Ward, described Abubakar’s efforts as true party loyalty.

“This is what being in a political party is all about. Political appointees should come back and help the people,” he said.

Alin Ummi, APC leader of Madigawa Ward, noted that everyone in attendance had felt the impact of Abubakar’s support.

“He has given us a lot of money, and we are thankful to God for witnessing this day. We will use this to break our fast and support our families,” he said.

Among the dignitaries in attendance were the Executive Financial Director of Hadejia-Jama’are River Basin Development Authority, Musa Iliasu Kwankwaso, Hon. Yusuf Aliyu Tumfafi and renowned Kano businessman, Alhaji Liti Kulkul.

Speaking at a graduation ceremony of first batch of ICT training he sponsored for youths and students in his native Fagge Local Government Area of Kano State, Abdulaziz said the President has redefined the idea of youth engagement and empowerment.

“Mr President has prioritised young people through many initiatives aimed at making our young people self-reliant. The President doesn’t want to give you food, he is giving you means to get your own food,” he said.

He listed the administration’s initiatives such as training of three million young Nigerians in IT skills, the Scale Up Artisans project, the Nigeria Youths Academy, among other interventions.

Abdulaziz also said the President has given young people voices by appointing young Nigerians into his cabinet and other important positions.

“For the first time we have a truly young Nigerian as minister of youths development. We have other young people in the cabinet and key appointments. We have to appreciate that.”

Abdulaziz said the IT training he sponsored was a way of giving back to the community and uplifting the underprivileged to attain their full potentials as part of his ongoing commitment to community development.

During the event, Abdulaziz also presented computers to some of the best-performing students in recognition of their dedication and excellence.

This initiative, he noted, is part of a broader vision to equip the youth with relevant digital skills, aligning with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu’s administra
