Borno Senator shares ₦135.65m to APC executives for Sallah

The Senator representing Borno Central, Kaka Shehu Lawan, has distributed ₦135.65 million to executives of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across his constituency in preparation for the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

The disbursement was disclosed by his legislative assistant, Usman Alkali, who said the funds were provided to support party officials ahead of the festive period.

Alkali noted that the gesture marks the third time the senator has extended such financial assistance since joining the National Assembly, describing it as a way of appreciating party executives for their contributions to strengthening democratic processes.

He added that the intervention is aimed at easing Sallah preparations while recognising the commitment of APC officials across Borno Central.

The development comes amid recent political developments in the state. Senator Lawan had earlier withdrawn from the Borno State governorship race and endorsed Mustapha Gubio, a candidate reportedly backed by Governor Babagana Zulum.

According to Alkali, the decision followed a stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja, where it was agreed that Lawan would step down from the governorship contest and retain his seat in the Senate.
