A coalition of youths groups in Kebbi State, have exempted themselves from the nationwide protest planned by concerned individuals scheduled to begin from 1st August, 2024.
More than 100 youths associations trooped to the Government House, Birnin Kebbi, on Sunday in a show of solidarity with President Bola Tinubu and Governor Nasir Idris, to affirm their loyalty to the administration at state and federal levels.
Leader of the Groups, Mallam Muhammad Adamu Kichinga, described the planned protest as inimical to security and wellbeing of Nigerians.
“The situation in the country is surmountable with time, we should continue to pray for leaders to facilitate the attainment of a better nation. Our amenable Governor, Nasir Idris, has achieved record of successes in the transformation of Kebbi in all sectors of human endeavour, we must support him to take us to the promised land.
“We are here to reaffirm our loyalty and cooperation to you administration, and forward same to Mr. President, we remain supportive to your government”, Kichinga concluded.
Responding, Governor Idris thanked the organisers and participants for identifying with the ideals and policies of the APC-led administration of uplifting the wellbeing of all citizens.
“My administration will continue to evolve more ways of Youths and Women empowerment towards making them self reliant and gainfully employed. We thank all of you for your solidarity and understanding, the scheduled protest is unwarranted, we are happy that Youths in Kebbi, exempted yourselves from this misadventure.
“No development is possible without peace, we shall make everything humanly possible to address the challenges facing the populace. What is on ground in Kebbi is a testimony of the giant strides achieved by incumbent government to transform the state for better life”, the governor said.
In a remark, the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, described government and governance as ‘work in progress’, saying the Tinubu administration was on the right track of uplifting the living condition of all Nigerians.
“Your solidarity reinforces confidence in leaders, Kaura in Kebbi has been the shining light of development, he has performed remarkably well. Kebbi is a state of peace, you must sustain the tempo, do not allow detractors, local and foreign to use you to create discord in the country, no problem is without solution, Nigeria will prosper.
“We thank you all for showing solidarity with the government, we are happy that you have realised the planned protest is ill conceived and diversionary for ulterior purposes, shun such path of infamy”, he pleaded.
