On a day marked by a massive show of support for the ruling authorities, the scene we witnessed outside the Government House in Birnin Kebbi was emblematic of the commitment and loyalty of the youth to the local and national government. Over 100 youth groups came together to express solidarity with President Bola Tinubu and Governor Nasir Idris, affirming their unwavering support for their political actions.
The leader of the groups, the indefatigable Malam Muhammad Adamu-Kichinga, made clear his opposition to any form of protest deemed detrimental to the security and well-being of Nigerians. He stressed the need to remain united in prayer so that our leaders can lead the country to a better future.
In a show of appreciation to Governor Idris and his administration, the youths present highlighted the significant achievements made in various sectors of development. They reaffirmed their commitment to supporting policies aimed at improving the living conditions of the population and promoting the economic and social progress of the state.
In response to this demonstration of solidarity, Governor Idris expressed his gratitude to the participants for their support and understanding. He also stressed the need for continued collaboration with the youth and women to strengthen their autonomy and promote their integration into the local economy.
The Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Sen. Atiku Bagudu, commended the dynamism of the current administration and stressed the importance of the support of the population to consolidate the progress made. He encouraged the population to preserve peace and avoid negative influences that could disrupt social harmony.
This demonstration of support and unity illustrates the collective will of the people of Kebbi to contribute to the development of the state and to actively participate in building a better future for all. In this time of uncertainty and challenges, it is essential that we remain united and committed to our leaders to overcome obstacles and build a more prosperous future for our nation.
