Honorable Ibikunle Idowu, the Minority Leader of the Kogi State House of Assembly representing Yagba West Local Government, has become a trending topic online after a video surfaced showing him distributing motorcycle tyres to his constituents.

 

The footage, shared by an X user identified as @ChuksEricE, captures the lawmaker personally handing out the tyres as part of an empowerment initiative. While some residents were seen accepting the donations, social media users have flooded the comment section with mixed reactions—many questioning the significance of motorcycle tyres as a means of economic support.

 

The viral clip has ignited a debate over the effectiveness of political empowerment programs in Nigeria, with some netizens ridiculing the gesture as inadequate, while others argue that the tyres may be useful for commercial motorcycle operators in the region.

 

As discussions continue, Hon. Ibikunle has yet to officially address the growing criticism or clarify the intended impact of his donation.
