” The Tinubu administration has done so much to improve Nigeria. The president has fulfilled his campaign promises to Kebbi, and I am proud to be associated with him,” Bagudu said. “In less than two years, the federal government has initiated several people-oriented projects in Kebbi State”
He highlighted key federal projects in the state, including 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.

In his address, Governor Nasir Idris reaffirmed the state’s support for President Tinubu, praising his administration’s contributions to Kebbi’s development
” The people of Kebbi are solidly behind President Tinubu because he has brought progress and development to our state. We can point to many achievements under his leadership. When the time comes in 2027, we shall see if anyone claims to have more supporters than Tinubu in Kebbi,” Idris said
Earlier, the Speaker of the Kebbi State House of Assembly, Muhammad Usman Zuru, declared that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) no longer holds influence in the state
” Those who mattered in the PDP have all returned to the APC for the progress and development of Kebbi. The only party left in the state is the APC,” he stated
