Barely two years to the 2027 general elections, political storms have gathered momentum with the formation of coalition forces under the African Development Congress (ADC).
The coalition involved mostly ambitious politicians who are convinced of the impossibility of achieving their political ambitions in their states under their respective political parties.
The uncomfortable situation resulted from the declaration of an overwhelming vote of absolute confidence on the incumbent state governors as a result of the remarkable successes achieved in the two years.
Comrade Governor Nasir Idris is one of the state Governors identified by the leadership of the All Progressive Congress (APC) at the national , state and local government levels and indeed the membership including the electorates to have justified his mandate through the execution of valuable socio-economic development programmes and projects.
Therefore, a consensus has been reached based on objective analysis of the projects and programmes executed as well as impact on the lives of the people, a second term mandate should be considered for continuity in the interest of the rapid development of the state.
In addition to his remarkable developmental strides, Comrade Nasir kauran Gwandu has also achieved a significant milestone in the political transformation of Kebbi state. He is the first and only serving Governor so far that mobilised all his predecessors regardless of political differences and involved them in the governance of the state at advisory level which they discharges with dedication and sincerity of purpose.
Comrade Governor Nasir kauran Gwandu is an amazing leader whose respect, humility, generousity, and demonstrated commitment to peace,unity, and development of Kebbi State overwhelmingly attracted the leadership and membership of the opposition political parties, particularly the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) with the defection of it’s three Senators, two House of Representatives and three state Assembly members to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Presently, it can boldly be declared that all the politicians of substance, genuinely interested and sincerely committed to the development of Kebbi state are in the All Progressive Congress (APC), with demonstrated commitment to ensuring a second term for Comrade Governor Kauran Gwandu.
Beyond reasonable doubt, considering the
present political situation and positive development in Kebbi State, for any politician however falsely overrated by inconsequential political thugs, under any political party, including the African Development Congress(AD), to venture into Kebbi State governorship election in 2027,it will be a jamboree and unargualably wasteful venture.
Aspirants for any elective position in Kebbi State, should try to showcase the scorecard (if any), of his contributions that directly impacted the well-being of his communities and not displaying eight years accumulated multi-billion naira investments scattered across the country and well known by Nigerians, with no visible impact on the lives of the people of Kebbi.
While Comrade Nasir kauran Gwandu remains deeply committed to the execution of his Kebbi transformation programme, the agents of the desperado governorship aspirant have been engaged in an orchestrated campaign of calumny across the state against Comrade Kauran Gwandu’s administration with the intention of deceiving the innocent but not enlightened that always expresses their pride of how Comrade Governor Nasir Idris is transforming Kebbi and placed on its pride of place.
If not deception,how can a sane person describe the befitting face-lift of Birnin Kebbi, the state capital, completion of the about twenty years abandoned ultra modern state Secretariat and the reconstruction of a standard state motor park in Birnin Kebbi as rehabilitation and waste of resources that doesn’t deserve the priority given by Comrade Nasir kaura. They are not happy with the determination of Comrade Governor Kaura to reconstruct the Koko-Zuru federal road abandoned for about ten years, the situation that cut off the area from the country and destroyed the socio-economic fortunes of the area. They criticised the execution of the project and argued that the state funds being used should have been challenged to more important projects, better than protecting the lives and economic fortunes of the people of Zuru emirate.
They are equally engaged in instigating the rural communities whose areas are yet to benefit from Comrade Governor Idris’s transformation programme unmindfulf of the act that the governor did not promise to overcome all the state developmental challenges in two years but already on course with substantial achievements in all sectors of development
Although the people of Kebbi State are not strangers to the paperweight, desperate and ambitious politicians in the state, the National leadership of the ADC needs to be alerted of the deceitful devise initiated by the desperate politicians for the purpose of deception through fraudulent faking of membership.
They also need to be aware that the ADC has no base in Kebbi State because all the grassroots politicians of substance are collectively in the All the Congress (APC) and solidly behind Comrade Governor Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu.
