Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris, has urged the public to engage in constructive criticism of his administration, emphasizing that his government will not provide financial rewards for criticism based on false information.
Governor Idris made this statement during a visit from the newly established “Tinubu Kauran Gwandu Continuity Movement (TKG)” at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi. He criticized individuals who, according to him, create misleading reports about his administration from their private spaces. Idris asserted that while such criticism may continue for years, it is irrelevant if it lacks factual basis.
He noted that unlike previous administrations that allegedly paid individuals for negative reports, his administration will not do so. The governor emphasized that public funds should be used for the benefit of the people of Kebbi, rather than being distributed to those who criticize without credible evidence.
Governor Idris assured the TKG of his support in achieving their objectives. The organization, as explained by its Chairman, Alhaji Kabiru Labbo-Jega, is not a campaign group but aims to highlight the governor’s achievements and those of President Tinubu.
Labbo-Jega mentioned that the meeting’s purpose was to inform TKG executives about the organization’s activities and strategies for promoting the governor’s and president’s initiatives. The group seeks to influence Kebbi politics positively.
Director General of TKG, Alhaji Kabiru Sani-Giant, revealed that the organization was established by Umar Ahmed Farouk, Managing Director of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), with the goal of advancing the projects of President Tinubu and Governor Idris while fostering grassroots unity.
