The assistance was also extended to former officials of the party in the zone, is part of Senator Barau’s empowerment initiative.
Speaking at the event on Wednesday, the Chief of Staff to the Deputy President of the Senate, Muhammad Abdullahi, said the gesture was aimed at supporting the beneficiaries to become self-reliant.
“Kano North Senatorial District is blessed with the Deputy President of the Senate, who kept on distributing goods that would help stimulate human development and make life easy for those who benefit from them.
“That is why we are not worried about some evil machinations and calculated attacks on our leader, Senator Barau Jibrin because we are aware that those behind them are people of low integrity and decide anybody’s fate.”
Abdullahi appealed to those who benefited from the cars and motorcycles not to dispose of them but rather use them to generate income.
Shittu Madaki, the Media Aide to Barau, said, “What we have on ground for distribution includes 47 cars, 282 motorcycles and more of such goodies are coming soon”.
Also speaking, the State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Agenda, Salihu Takai, said that what Barau is doing is just the same with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu but his own at the grassroots, removing poverty from the locals and their families.
“This is not the first of his interventions on human and capital development for his Kano North Senatorial District, and will certainly not be the last,” he added.
