Kebbi Governor Nasir Idris' Administration Defended Ahead of 2027

The Kebbi State Government has defended the administration of Governor Nasir Idris in anticipation of the 2027 governorship election, highlighting achievements in various sectors such as workers' welfare, education, healthcare, and infrastructure. Abdullahi Idris, the governor’s Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, accused the opposition African Democratic Congress of disseminating false information and engaging in political thuggery.

He emphasized that beneficiaries of the Idris administration expressed confidence in his leadership, particularly regarding civil servants' welfare. Murtala Usman, chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, acknowledged the governor's commitment to civil servants, including the payment of over N7 billion in pension and gratuity arrears.

The administration also made significant strides in education, with the Nigeria Union of Teachers recognizing the rehabilitation of over 3,000 schools and the employment of more than 2,000 teachers. Traditional leaders, including Emir Dr Zayyanu Abdullahi, praised the administration's projects in local government areas, which included healthcare facilities and road improvements.
