Governor of Kebbi State, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, has lauded the people of Kebbi State for their unwavering support to his administration and pleaded with them to sustain the tempo for rapid development of the state.
He made this known while rejoicing with the entire people of the state on the attainment of 33 years of statehood. Kebbi State was created on August 27, 1991, during the reign of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babagida as president.
The governor particularly appreciated the traditional rulers in the state for their fatherly advice, support, and consistent preaching for sustainable peace across the state. Gov. Idris appealed to the royal fathers not to relent in their efforts to foster unity, peace, and development of the state.
He commended previous civil and military administrations of the state for their contributions that culminated in the growth and development of Kebbi State, “without which we wouldn’t be where we are today.”
“I want to use this medium to appreciate our former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Ibrahim Badamasi Babagida, who found it imperative to create Kebbi State out of old Sokoto State. There is no doubt that the people of Kebbi State are now yielding the fruits of this wisdom; therefore, we are grateful. We wish you long life, good health, and God’s guidance,” he prayed.
