Ahead of the 2027 poll, the Renewed Hope Ambassador Network (RHAN) insists that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is the party to beat, any day, anytime in Kebbi state.
The group, led by Mr. Ahmed Yahaya, specifically acknowledged the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Abubakar Bagudu; and Governor Nasir Idris, as main heroes who are captains of the ship in the state.
Yahaya remarked that Governor Idris has performed well in the office to make his reelection campaigns easier ahead of the 2027 poll.
“The foundation for the overwhelming support given to APC in Kebbi State was laid by His Excellency, Atiku Bagudu while he was the Governor. His good works and legacies are still there to speak for him,” he noted.
“While he was leaving, he also blessed the state with a performing Governor, in the person of His Excellency, Nasir Idris. The Governor and his predecessors have enjoyed the support of the people, and by extension, our party is widely accepted today because of them.
“The state is known for peace, unity and progress, because the leaders are also at peace with each other. We have heard and seen states where cold wars exist between the Governors and their predecessors, in such states, development is too far from them and the fate of the party is dangling on the balance, as we move towards another election circle.”
Yahaya added that, through the Honourable Minister who is in charge of the budgetary allocations of the federation, the government of President Tinubu was able to allocate multi-billion naira projects to the state, in both the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years, saying, by the time the government would be 4 years, the state would have been transformed.
He said, “In less than two years, President Tinubu, through the effort of the Minister, has initiated several people-oriented projects in Kebbi State.
“Some of the key federal projects in the state, like the Natsini-Kangiwa-Kamba Road, awarded at N35 billion, the Malamfari-Ngaski-Warah Road, and ongoing work on the Sokoto-Kebbi-Badagry Superhighway and the Koko-Mahuta-Dabai Road, are pointers to the many laudable achievements of this administration.
“Also, the rehabilitation and construction of 30 km within the 127 km alignment of Biu-Kangiwa-Kamba-Gaya-Niger Republic Road, awarded at N39.6 billion; the construction of Malando Garin Baka Ngaski Wara Road CH.0+000 CH.79+586 at N86.3 billion; Koko-Besse-Zaria-Kala Road at N13.7 billion; and the 1,000 km Sokoto (Ilela – Badagry (Agbara) Superhighway (Section 1, Phase 1A) Kebbi section worth N428.3 bilion; are all glaring and signs that this government means well for the people of the State.”
The group further stressed that, with projects worth over 600 billions in just 2 years, the people of the state would have no option but to pray continually for the President Tinubu and Governor Idris government to succeed.
