Kebbi state governor, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris,  the Kauran Gwandu, has passionately  appealed to the organizers of the ongoing #endbadgovernance  protest in the state not to go ahead with the planned protest .

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Friday by the governor’s Special Adviser on Media , Mr Yahaya Sarki  noted that the Kauran Gwandu said this on Thursday while presiding over a news conference in Birni Kebbi.

The governor noted that  although it is the right of the citizens to stage a  peaceful protest,  this can however  be used as an opportunity to cause a breach of the peace in the state.

He disclosed that available credible information has revealed devilish plans by ‘some unpatriotic and unscrupulous elements’ to import some ‘mercenaries’  into  the state to cause mayhem.

‘Some people who don’t have the interest of the state at heart are planning to import some hired thugs into the state especially Birnin Kebbi, Argungu, Jega and Yauri to cause mayhem.

Whosoever knows Kebbi state knows that we respect the laws of the land.

 Protest is not part of us but some people want to import it and cause problem for our people’ the  governor said.

 Dr. Idris added that as a responsible government, his administration will not allow those who don’t have public interest at heart to vandalize public utilities as well as properties belonging to the law-abiding citizens.

He  said available information has revealed a dastardly plan by some heinous persons to attack the state water board and vandalize it under the guise of protest.

The governor said, ‘Some people want to protest and undermine the peace the people of Kebbi state are now enjoying and we won’t allow that.

Therefore, we feel that we call upon the protesters to see reason and shelve it in the interest of peace and security of the state.

If you vandalize any public utility or private property, they all belong to the people of the state’.

Governor Idris assured  the people of the state that the government is doing its best to address the challenges being faced by the citizens 

‘The government is doing everything humanly possible to address the challenges facing the people of the state’ he said.

The Kauran Gwandu  also added that if trouble starts, nobody knows when it will stop or where it will affect, saying, ‘protest  always have negative multiplier effects’.

‘Once again, I am  appealing to the protesters to please  see reason and shelve the protest and not to allow some unpatriotic egocentric elements to influence them.

This state belongs to all of us, and we don’t have any other state but Kebbi and we should not destroy it through the influence of some bad elements’ he submitted.
