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 N1 million, the APC chairman got N100,000, and the party’s secretary received N30,000. Additionally, 25 APC executives were given N20,000 each. Women leaders, persons with disabilities, and ward leaders also received N10,000 each, among others.
Abubakar assured that this initiative was just the beginning, promising continued support.
“Not more 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 score well in JAMB will be sponsored to universities of their choice,” he added.
Kano APC chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, represented by the party’s PRO, Ahmad S. Aruwa, commended Abubakar’s generosity, urging other politicians to emulate him.
“If we can have three people like Abubakar, Kano will not be the same,” he said.
He criticized the ruling NNPP, claiming they have not provided similar support to the people of Kano.
APC Kano women leader, Hajiya Fatima Abdullahi, lauded 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, going door-to-door to canvass support, 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 receive 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, and renowned Kano businessman Alhaji Liti Kulkul.
