The vehicles, identified as Opel Zafira 2000 models, are estimated to cost between ₦3.5 million and ₦6 million each, based on current listings on Cars45.com. The donation was officially handed over by the Speaker of the Assembly, Alhaji Muhammad Usman-Zuru, who said the gesture fulfilled a promise made by the lawmakers during the inauguration of the TKT group on May 20, 2025.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Usman-Zuru praised both Tinubu and Governor Idris, stating that their leadership had positively impacted Kebbi State. “The essence of governance is the delivery of dividends of democracy to the citizenry, and Governor Nasir Idris has delivered beyond expectations across all areas of human endeavour,” he said.
The Speaker further noted that each of the 25 lawmakers contributed one vehicle, describing it as a personal commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its leadership. He also commended Governor Idris for fostering a strong working relationship with the legislature.
However, the move has sparked widespread outrage, particularly among civic groups and political stakeholders, who have raised concerns over the use of public funds and the prioritisation of political interests over developmental needs.
