Kebbi Pilgrims Welfare Chair Donates to APC Amid Legal Concerns
Faruk Enabo, the Chairman of the Kebbi State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, donated vehicles, 225 motorcycles, and other empowerment items to All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders and political coordinators across Kebbi State. This donation has sparked questions regarding the legality of a public office holder making such substantial contributions to political activities, particularly in light of the Electoral Act 2026, which limits individual donations to N500 million.
The donation included 60 saloon cars and two jeeps, with an estimated total value exceeding N500 million. Enabo claimed that the donations were funded through legitimate business activities and personal resources, denying allegations that pilgrims' funds were used.
He stated that the funds belonging to the pilgrims remain intact and properly accounted for. Enabo also reported that the agency collected N27.9 billion from intending pilgrims for the 2027 Hajj, remitting N25.7 billion to the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).
