Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State
By El-Yakub Dabai, Birnin Kebbi
Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State has passionately appealed to the organisers of the ongoing #endbadgovernance protest in the state to shelve it as Government was working on modalities to address their grievances.
The Governor who made the appeal while addressing Newsmen in Birnin Kebbi said although it was the rights of citizens to protest peacefully, some miscreants would hijack it and use it negatively.
He revealed that available credible information had uncovered devilish plans by some unpatriotic and unscrupulous elements to import some ‘mercenaries’ from outside the state to cause mayhem in Kebbi State.
“Some people who don’t have the interest of the state at heart are planning to import some hired thugs from outside Kebbi State into the state especially Birnin Kebbi, Argungu, Jega and Yauri to cause mayhem.
“Whosoever knows Kebbi State knows that we respect the laws of the land.. Protest is not part of us but some people want to import it and cause problem for our people,” the Governor averred.
According to Governor Idris, as a responsible government, he said his administration would not allow those who dont have public interest at heart to vandalise public utilities as well as private property of the law-abiding citizens.
“Therefore, we feel that we should call upon the protesters to see reason and call it off in the interest of peace and security of the state.. If you vandalize any public utility or private property, they all belong to the people of the state.” The Governor said.
He further stressed by saying, “once again, I am appealing to the protesters to see reason and shelve the protest. The state belongs to all of us and we don’t have any other state but Kebbi and we should not destroy it through the influence of some bad elements”.
