Economic hardship: Kano lawmakers get ₦2.7bn worth of vehicles

According to Daily Trust, some 40 assembly members have already received their SUVs, each costing N68 million.

The assembly, a mix of 25 members from the governor’s New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and 14 from the All Progressives Congress (APC), with one undecided seat, is now under scrutiny for accepting such a controversial gift.

This gesture follows a similar controversial gift from Kebbi state governor Nasiru Idris to his state’s assembly members, executive members, and parastatal heads two months ago.
