From KABIR Dankatsina,
Governor Nasir Idris of KEBBI State has appealed to the organisers of the ongoing #endbadgovernance protest in the state to suspend it saying ” don’t allow miscreants to use you in order to destroy the state “
He made the plea when he addressed the people of the state on the state of the nation.
According to the Governor, although it is the right of the citizens to peacefully protest, the extant one will be used to cause a breach of the peace of the state.
He said that available credible information has revealed devilish plans by some unpatriotic and unscrupulous elements to import some ‘mercenaries’ from outside the state to cause mayhem in Kebbi State.
MmHe noted that Some people who don’t have the interest of the state at heart are planning to import some hired thugs from outside Kebbi State 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 and Protest is not part of us but some people want to import it and cause problem for our people, “the Governor added.
According to the Governor as a responsible government, his administration will not allow those who dont have public interest at heart to vandalise public utilities as well as private properties of the law-abiding citizens
The governor however lamented that 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 therefore, I feel that should call upon the protesters to see reason and shelve it in the interest of peace and security of the state.
