This is a blessed day in a blessed month. We completed the fasting period successfully, and today we have celebrated Eid in peace.

We extend our appreciation to the people of Kebbi State for the immense support they have given us. All the achievements we have recorded would not have been possible without their support. Therefore, we are truly grateful, and we pray that Allah (SWT) accepts all the prayers offered during this holy month.

We also convey our best wishes to our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We pray for his good health and long life as he continues to lead the country towards greater progress.

In our state, many individuals are working tirelessly for its development. This is not about politics; it is about bringing meaningful dividends of democracy to our people’ he said.

I have always emphasized that those who go to Abuja should bring back meaningful benefits to our state.

There is nothing more important than serving the interest of our people. Their loyalty and support make it imperative for us to ensure they enjoy the dividends  of development. We appreciate the Minister for his dedication to ensuring that our people benefit from government programmes’ he added.
