Association Lauds Kebbi Governor, Minister On Support For Tinubu

Leaders of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors Network (RHAN) have attributed the large turnout at the recent political rally in Kebbi State to the commendable efforts of President Bola Tinubu and the goodwill of the state’s leaders.

The group, which played a significant role in campaigning for Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election, specifically acknowledged the minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu, and Governor Nasir Idris as the key figures taking charge in the state.

It is worth noting that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State launched its campaign for the re-election of President Tinubu and Governor Idris ahead of the 2027 elections on Wednesday.

The mega rally, entitled “We Stand with Tinubu and Kauran Gwandu,” took place at the Township Stadium in Birnin Kebbi and attracted prominent political figures, including Minister Bagudu, Governor Idris, Honourable James Faleke, Minister of State for Education Yusuf Tanko Sununu and many others.

While addressing the crowd, Senator Bagudu stated that both Tinubu and Governor Idris deserve a second term based on their performances in less than two years in office.

Reacting to the event, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors Network maintained that reports from the Kebbi chapter of the network indicate that “APC is the party to beat, any day, anytime.

“We have consistently asserted that any governor who performs well in office will facilitate easier campaigns for their re-election or that of their party.

“The foundation for the overwhelming support given to the APC in Kebbi State was laid by His Excellency, Atiku Bagudu, during his tenure as governor. His good works and legacies continue to speak for him.

“Upon his departure, he also bequeathed the state a capable governor in the person of His Excellency, Nasir Idris. Both the current governor and his predecessors have enjoyed the support of the people, and consequently, our party is widely accepted today because of them.

“The state is known for peace, unity and progress as the leaders are also at peace with one another. We have witnessed instances in other states where cold wars exist between governors and their predecessors. In such states, development is elusive and the fortunes of the party hang in the balance as we approach another electoral cycle,” said the spokesman for the network, Hon Ahmed Yahaya.

Yahaya added that through the minister responsible for budget allocations, President Tinubu’s government has been able to allocate multi-billion-naira projects to the state for both the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years, asserting that by the end of the government’s four-year term, the state would have undergone significant transformation.

He stated, “In less than two years, President Tinubu, through the efforts of the minister, has initiated several people-oriented projects in Kebbi State.

“Some of the key federal projects in the state include 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, all of which highlight the many commendable achievements of this administration.”
