Senator Barau Jibrin, Deputy President of the Senate, distributed 47 Sharon cars and 287 Boxer motorcycles to local government officials and party functionaries in Kano North Senatorial District. The items were handed over under the platform of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, according to Mallam Salihu Sagir Takai, state coordinator of the agenda, who spoke on behalf of the senator. Recipients included APC local government chairmen and secretaries within the district. Senator Barau stated the intervention aimed to ease poverty among the beneficiaries. He described the gesture as part of his ongoing human and capital development efforts in the senatorial district, adding that similar interventions would continue. The Chief of Staff to the Deputy President of the Senate, Professor Muhammad Bn Abdullahi, called the distribution a capital-intensive intervention capable of moving beneficiaries from poverty to self-reliance. He urged recipients not to sell the vehicles but to use them for income generation. Professor Abdullahi also dismissed criticisms of the exercise, attributing negative reactions to "evil machinations" by individuals of "low integrity."
