The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, has made a significant donation to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State. On September 26, 2026, Matawalle presented a brand new Lexus SUV to the Chairman of the Zamfara State Chapter of the APC, Hon. Kabiru Moyi Birnin Magaji. The donation was made at the minister's private residence in Abuja and was witnessed by party executive members, supporters, and well-wishers.

According to a statement by Comrade Yusuf Idris Gusau, publicity secretary of the Matawalle Political Standing Committee (MPSC), the donation aims to facilitate the logistics of the party chairman. The minister, represented by Hon. Yazid Shehu Danfulani, CEO of the Nigeria Agricultural Insurance Corporation (NAIC), noted that the vehicle is necessary to navigate the state's difficult terrains. This mobility will enable the chairman to convey leaders to all parts of the state.

The donated Lexus SUV is fully built with bulletproof facilities, allowing it to penetrate all major roads across the nation. Matawalle commended the current APC leadership in the state under Kabiru Moyi's efforts in mobilizing support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's reelection and Governor Dauda Lawal's campaigns. The minister assured the party of his continued support at all levels and times.

Matawalle expressed his confidence in the chairman's ability to utilize the vehicle effectively, particularly for the ongoing presidential and governorship campaigns in the state and beyond. He congratulated the chairman on the gift and prayed for a smooth drive. The minister's gesture is seen as a significant boost to the APC's campaign efforts in Zamfara State.

Hon. Kabiru Moyi Birnin Magaji, the APC chairman, received the vehicle and thanked Matawalle for the gesture. He promised to fully utilize the SUV for the party's campaigns and other activities. The chairman acknowledged the minister's support and pledged to work tirelessly to ensure the party's success in the forthcoming elections.

The donation of the bulletproof SUV is a testament to Matawalle's commitment to supporting the APC in Zamfara State. The vehicle is expected to play a crucial role in the party's campaign efforts, particularly in reaching out to voters in the state's rural areas. The minister's support is seen as a significant endorsement of the party's leadership in the state.

The APC in Zamfara State is expected to benefit greatly from Matawalle's donation, as the party prepares for the upcoming elections.
