In 2027, Federal Representative Bello Kaoje, who serves the Bagudo/Suru constituency in Kebbi State, donated a fleet of 25 vehicles and 250 motorcycles to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in an effort to strengthen the party’s grassroots mobilisation across the state.
The donation, announced by Kaoje, is aimed at enhancing the APC’s ability to reach voters and coordinate activities at the local level, particularly in remote and hard‑to‑access areas of Kebbi.
Kebbi, a north‑western Nigerian state, has long been a stronghold for the APC, which is the ruling party at the federal level. Mobilising supporters in the state’s rural wards often requires reliable transport, prompting the lawmaker’s contribution of motorised assets.
By providing both cars and motorcycles, the APC hopes to improve the distribution of campaign materials, facilitate the movement of party officials, and increase voter engagement ahead of upcoming electoral cycles.
The move underscores the role of individual lawmakers in supporting party infrastructure, especially in regions where logistical challenges can hinder political outreach.
