Ganduje's son acknowledges Tinubu's efforts
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony in Ganduje town, Engr. Umar assured the gathering that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration remains committed to alleviating the economic challenges facing Nigerians.
He urged the people to continue supporting the government, adding that food prices are already showing signs of decline nationwide.
Beyond the Ramadan initiative, he revealed that additional empowerment programs would soon be introduced to assist both the general public and dedicated supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who remained loyal despite the party’s opposition status in Kano.
“APC is a party that stands by its supporters even without holding government positions. Despite not being in power in Kano, prominent members such as Nasiru Ja’oji, Deputy Senate President, and Baffa Babba Dan’agundi have consistently provided assistance through various empowerment programs,” Engr. Umar said.
He emphasized that the food aid was just a starting point, promising further interventions in the coming months. “This initiative is a way of showing appreciation to you all for your unwavering support. More programs are in the pipeline to uplift our people,” he added.

In a goodwill message, former Commissioner of Works and Land, Shehu Haruna Lambu, commended Engr. Umar for his generosity and dedication to his constituency.
“This young man has demonstrated true leadership and a commitment to his people. Even after the election, he continues to bring development to our community. He has improved electrification and installed solar-powered street lights, directly and indirectly benefiting many lives,” Lambu stated.
Encouraging the constituents to support Engr. Umar’s future political aspirations, Lambu expressed confidence that his leadership would continue to bring tangible benefits to the region.
The distribution of essential food supplies comes at a critical time, offering much-needed relief to families preparing for the holy month of Ramadan.
