A group, Concerned Citizens for Progress and Continuity in Kebbi State has urged the public to ignore criticisms surrounding the Kebbi State House of Assembly’s donation of 25 vehicles to the Tinubu/Kaura 2-Terms (TKT) campaign movement.
In a statement released yesterday, the group’s leader, Saidu Musa Ribah, insisted the gesture was lawful and beneficial to the state’s political future.
“We support any legitimate and lawful initiative that sustains the current trajectory of development,” Ribah said.
“The TKT movement aligns with the democratic right of people to support a government and political initiative of their choice.”
The group described recent backlash from civil society organisations and opposition parties as “disingenuous and hypocritical”.
According to Ribah, lawmakers are constitutionally permitted to align with political groups representing their constituents’ interests.
He argued that the donation reflects the legislators’ commitment to sustaining “good leadership that has started transforming our state and country”.
Highlighting the achievements of Governor Nasir Idris, the group praised his administration’s focus on infrastructure, education, workers’ welfare, and rural development.
Similarly, President Tinubu’s economic reforms and federal appointments favouring Kebbi State were cited as signs of inclusive leadership.
“Supporting their continuity is not only wise-it is in the best interest of our collective future,” Ribah stated.
He clarified that the TKT movement is a grassroots mobilisation drive, not a private venture.
“The vehicles will help facilitate community engagement, especially in rural areas often ignored by those now criticising the initiative,” he said.
