d
Members of the Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states (SOKEZA) Peoples Welfare Association in Borno state have expressed satisfaction with the achievements of Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi state in his two years in office as Governor.
The Chairman of the Association, Alhaji Usman Maude, said this when he led members of the executive council of the association on a courtesy visit to Kebbi state Commissioner of Information and Culture, Alhaji Yakubu Ahmed BK, in Maiduguri yesterday.
He said that the plethora of achievements in Kebbi have made indigenes of the state proud of the leadership qualities of Dr Nasir Idris.
The Commissioner was in Maiduguri to attend the quarterly strategic meeting of Commissioners of Information of APC governed states which is due to open today.
Alhaji Maude noted that developments at home have always impacted on them in Borno state because they have always kept tabs on happenings there.
He said the Governor deserves the commendation of all right thinking patriots whose desire is to see to the progress of the people of Kebbi state.
“We are happy with the efforts the Governor had been making in ensuring security of lives and property in the face of continued threat by bandits in parts of the state.
“We are aware of the relentless efforts in the area of unprecedented assistance which the Kebbi state government has been giving to security forces in terms of logistics, and welfare, and the mobilization of the people to provide credible intelligence, as well as support to local vigilantes and hunters to assist in the fight against banditry.
“We are also in the know of developments in the provision of infrastructure such as roads, schools, hospitals, empowerment and provision of palliatives, grains and fertilizers to the people.”
Alhaji Maude urged the Governor not to be deterred by the antics of political opponents whose stock in trade is to engage in deliberate misinformation for the purpose of destabilizing the government for their selfish ends.
He assured the government of Kebbi state of their continued support and prayers as efforts are redoubled to take Kebbi to the next level of development.
The Commissioner had thanked the SOKEZA leadership for the visit and appealed to them to continue to live in peace with their host community, work hard and continue to support governments at all levels.
He reiterated the commitment of Dr Idris’s administration to the development of Kebbi state.
“We are pleased to hear our people in distant places such as Borno identifying with developments at home. This demonstrates that we are on the right path for more achievements in our dear state.”
Alhaji Yakubu Ahmed also urged them to support the Professor Babagana Umara Zulum’s government in Borno state.
