The Party’s Director General of Campaigns, Hon. Sani Tadurga announced the commencement of the campaigns during a news conference on Wednesday at the Azbir Hotel In Birnin Kebbi.
He said that their governorship candidate, Abubakar chika Malami has pledged to prosecute issue-based campaigns as well as improved healthcare and to revitalization of critical sectors in Kebbi State.
Tadurga further revealed that Malami, a former Attorney General and Minister of Justice during President Buhari’s regime is in the race to reposition the state in terms of education, security, agriculture and to turn around the fortunes of Kebbi State to benefit every citizen in the state.
He also highlighted plans to improve the tourism sector in Kebbi through private and public partnership with a view to creating hundreds of jobs for the young people of Kebbi State.
According to him, if Malami is elected as governor in 2027, he will ensure the improvement of the quality of education through robust education policy which will drive successful implementation of education for all policy in the state.
Tadurga, however, noted the party’s readiness to take campaigns to every nooks and crannies of the state as it will not take any community for granted during the campaigns.
Reacting to the opposition’s press conference, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Communication and Strategy, Alhaji Abdullahi Zuru said that ADC’s gathering was a mere distraction from the visible developmental projects being executed in Kebbi State.
He added that the campaign train lied about the claims in healthcare, education and insecurity no one is in doubt that there is improved security in Kebbi state with the support of Kebbi state government through sustained logistics and welfare for security forces in the state.
He queried why the opposition always keot mute over the gains and achievements in all sectors in the state. “Our security forces have made huge rescue of kidnapped victims and had repelled so many attacks in Kebbi state but the opposition are only interested in shielding the truth and parading falsehood to gain cheap popularity.”
Zuru added that people of Kebbi State have taken a decision to reelect the sitting Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris as there is no alternative to him.
