One of the foremost political associations in Nigeria, The Renewed Hope Ambassadors Network (RHAN), has attributed the mammoth turn out of crowd at the just held political rally in Kebbi State, to the good works of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the goodwill of the leaders of the state.
The group, which was responsible for massive campaigns for Tinubu across the country in the 2023 Presidential election, specifically acknowledged the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Abubakar Bagudu; and Governor Nasir Idris, as main heros who are captains of the ship in the state.
Recall that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State, on Wednesday, launched its campaign for the re-election of President Tinubu and Governor Idris ahead of the 2027 elections.
The mega rally, tagged “We Stand with Tinubu and Kauran Gwandu,” took place at the township stadium in Birnin Kebbi, drawing prominent political figures, including Minister Bagudu; Governor Idris; Hon. James Faleke; Minister of State for Education, Yusuf Tanko Sununu; and several others.
Senator Bagudu, while speaking at the event, said both Tinubu and Governor Idris deserved a second term based on their performances in less than two years in office.
Reacting through a press statement on Friday, The Renewed Hope Ambassador Network, said the report received from the Kebbi chapter of the Network, shows “APC is the party to beat, any day, anytime”.
“We have said this repeatedly that, any Governor who performs well in the office, will make campaigns easier for his return or the return of his party.
“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.
“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”, said Hon. Ahmed Yahaya, Spokesman of the Network.
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.
