Hon. Abubakar Donates Cash to APC Leaders, Supporters in Dala for Ramadan

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, held on Thursday in Dala, aimed to appreciate 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.

“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,” he stated.

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.

“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,” he added.

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.

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

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.

Speaker Abbas’s aide distributes 250 JAMB forms to Dala Students

Abubakar Aminu Ibrahim, a senior legislative aide to the Speaker House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has distributed two hundred and fifty Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) forms to students in Kano State.

The distribution exercise was held at Mubayya House in Kano on Monday.

The beneficiaries were drawn from twelve wards of Dala Local Government of Kano State.

Distributing the forms to the selected student, Abubakar Aminu Ibrahim said that the idea was conceived out of his passion to give back to his society, saying the gesture was meant to help the less privileged.

He said that plans are in the pipeline to introduce an educational fund which will support students in Dala Local Government Area.

Abubakar Aminu Ibrahim said, “First of all, I found it proper that we all have a responsibility in one way or the other to contribute to the educational development of our local government in particular and our dear state in general. 

“It is my belief that certain educational attainment has the power to make sure that the people of Dala local government compete effectively with their peers from other local governments in the state and then excel in their fields of endeavors.  

“To wall this talk, I decided to distribute 250 JAMB forms to less privileged students in Dala Local Government. Our investment in education will not stop here. We will follow up this gesture with other measures to ensure that the selected students get admitted into the universities of their choice.”

However, the aide said that he has made arrangements to ensure that the beneficiaries get admitted into the universities of their choice.

He added, “We are planning to offer scholarships to some of the students thereafter. This will come at intervals.

“This exercise is an attempt in our own small way to emulate the humanistic projects executed by some progressive politicians in Kano State like the member representing Bichi Federal constituency, Abubakar Kabir Bichi, who is doing everything possible to make his local government educationally advanced.”

The event was attended by the Dala APC chairman, Munir Haruna, party elders, former chairmen and councilors, former chairmanship and councillorship candidates in the local government, among others.
