MB Shehu stated that the financial gesture was intended to provide support to his party’s supporters for initiating new ventures or investing in their existing businesses. Representing the Fagge Federal Constituency of Kano State, he expressed gratitude for the backing and dedication shown by the supporters during the 2023 elections, both for his personal success and that of NNPP.
Explaining the breakdown of the distribution, MB Shehu mentioned that 16 beneficiaries would receive N200,000 each, seven would be given N100,000 each, and 20 others would be granted N50,000 each.
