Niger lawmaker gifts APC Excos in Chanchaga LGA with N8m as palliative

The lawmaker representing Chanchaga Constituency in the Niger House of Assembly, Hon. Mohammed Abubakar, popularly known (aka Ustaz) has empowered party executives, the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Chanchaga Local Government Area.

The lawmaker rolled out over N8 million in cash gifts to leaders of the ruling APC in the Chanchaga local government area of the state to improve their living standards in the face of the present economic hardship.

Hon. Abubakar Mohammed commended leaders and members of APC and people in his constituency for their support that made the party victorious during the 2023 general elections.

“It is a tradition in politics that after politicking, party officials go back to the office to drink tea, this time around we are changing the narrative.

“We will rather support our people with a token for them to do business, it is a palliative measure because of the critical situation we are in, we need to support our people,” he said.

He noted that the beneficiaries were 27 and each of them benefits a token of N300,000 each, adding he recently empowered 33 members of his campaign team with N500,000 each to support their living standards.

The lawmaker advised the beneficiaries to make effective use of the cash gifts by starting up a business to improve their living condition and that of their family members.

In his remarks, the state Publicity Secretary of the Party Mallan Musa Sarkinkaji, appreciated the lawmaker for thinking deeply to extend a hand of fellowship to party executives and his campaign team.

He described the initiative as a “great development which was in line with the party’s manifesto of ensuring the welfare of all people.

Also, APC Chairman in Chanchaga, Alhaji Yusuf Mohammed appreciated the lawmaker for the gesture and advised the beneficiaries to utilise the money judiciously.

One of the beneficiaries, Alhaji Abdullahi Sa’idu, promised to invest the money in his farming activities to boost food production in the state
