100 Youth Groups, Students Oppose Planned Hunger Strike During Solidarity Visit To Kebbi  Govt House

No fewer than one hundred youth groups and  a horde of students vehemently rejected the planned nationwide hunger  protest against the  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration during their  solidarity visit to the  Government House, Birnin Kebbi on Sunday.

They dissociated themselves from the planned protest submitting that it  will be a bad omen for  sustainable peace, unity and socio-economic prosperity of the country.

The youth groups and students , who chorused ‘Sai Kaura Gwandu, Sai Tinubu ‘ , ‘We don’t want Protest ‘ marched through major streets in Birnin Kebbi, the Kebbi state capital  before converging on  the Government House where Governor Nasir Idris addressed them.

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com  by the governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Yahaya Sarki noted that  an elated Dr  Nasir Idris commended the youths for treading the path of peace and dialogue.

‘I am happy that our able, indefatigable and vibrant youths have steered clear from the obnoxious planned protests.

It is not certainly in our character to engage in such show of shame and ungratefulness’ he said.

The Kauran Gwandu also acknowledged that the three tiers of government are trying their possible best to execute myriads of projects to improve things.

‘Such a wonderful trajectory of development of peace and development cannot be consolidated in a rancorous situation’ Dr Idris added.

The governor further urged the youths to sustain their patriotism, prayers and patience while  appealing to them  not to mortgage their future by allowing some dastardly elements to use them to foment trouble.

Dr Idris  promised to sustain all his people-oriented projects, programmes and policies.

He also said that his administration is planning many interventions to further empower the youths, women and other vulnerable across the state.

Also speaking,  Minister of Budget and Economic Planning,  Alhaji Atiku Bagudu acknowledged the credible leadership and good governance of the APC leader in the state, Dr. Nasir Idris.

He said, Dr. Idris, a veteran labour leader and core educationist has not disappointed them.

Bagudu also commended the governor for cultivating and nurturing a robust synergy with the Federal Government, saying, ‘this is attracting many good things to the state’.

The leader of the youth groups, Muhammad Adamu said they are strongly opposed to the planned protests being law-abiding and patriotic citizens.

Adamu added that they have taken this decision in recognition of the giant strides recorded by the Kauran Gwandu administration in various sectors of the economy such as Education, Health, Agriculture and Security among others.

He reiterated their loyalty to the Kauran Gwandu-led administration in the state and the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration at the federal level. 

Hadiza Saidu Dankolo, National Vice President of the National Union of Kebbi State Students Association, who also gave a speech, assured the governor of their support.

‘We are totally against the planned protest. We support you, Your Excellency, and our dear President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’ she said.

Commissioner for Youth Development, Hon. Nura Bala Fingilla, commended the youths and  the students for distancing themselves from the planned protest.

‘I applaud the foresight of Kebbi youths and students for unanimously opposing the planned nationwide protests against the government’  he said.
