Security: Kebbi Governor Denies Saying He Spent N6b To Support Army

Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi state on Wednesday described media reports claiming that he had submitted that his administration has spent N6 billion to support the Nigerian Army in its efforts to ensure security of lives and property in the state in the last one year as untrue.

 The governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Yahaya Sarki  in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com  called this  ‘a very misleading publication’ while adding that  Senator  Garba Musa Maidoki ( PDP-Kebbi South) also made an incorrect submission on the floor of the senate in respect of the matter.

‘The attention of the Kebbi state Government has been drawn to a very misleading publication that Gov. Nasir Idris,  the Kauran Gwandu spends N6 billion annually to support the Nigerian Army in its operations in the state.

It is certainly an indisputable fact that  the Kauran Gwanadu has from last year to date given special attention to , and prioritized the security of lives and property of all the law-abiding residents of the state.

The governor had tangibly supported all the security agencies, Army inclusive, to successfully discharge their constitutional duties.               

The governor never said he has spent the said amount on the Army, but he only submitted that he spends N500 million monthly on security generally..  

 He stated this during the recently held Uhola festival in Zuru while he was reassuring the Emir and the people of the emirate of the determination of his administration to safeguard their lives and property against the bandits. 

Recall that the governor in his determined effort to support security personnel in the state had procured 27 Hilux vehicles and 1,000 motorcycles and distributed them to the vigilantes .

He also increased and maintained allowances of security personnel operating across the state particularly those in the Kebbi South.

The Kauran Gwandu has also remained committed and resolute in ensuring that the people of the state do sleep with their two eyes closed, without fear of any attack.   

Therefore, the statement by Senator Garba Musa Maidoki ( PDP-Kebbi South) on the floor of the Senate had misinformed the people of the state that Kebbi state Government claimed to have spent N 6 billion .

To set the record straight, the governor only said that he spends N500 million monthly to ensure the general security of the state.

Consequently, the general public should disregard the said statement and continue to have confidence in the commitment of Dr Nasir Idris to fully ensuring the security of lives and property of all law-abiding residents of the state’ the statement added-  -Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
