Kebbi State Governor, Dr Nasir Idris, has counseled the general public to imbibe the habit of criticising his administration constructively to pave way for a decent democracy and his administration would not give out money to those criticizing on fake information.
Idris stated this while receiving a newly formed organisation, “Tinubu Kauran Gwandu Continuity Movement (TKG) on a courtesy visit at the Government House, Birnin Kebbi.
The Governor noted that some people would locked themselves in a room “and write what they want against us. You can continue to write whatever you like against us in the next ten years, it doesn’t concern us.
“Even if you want to criticise, do that constructively, criticise with verifiable facts.
“During the previous administrations, the same set of people used to lock up themselves and write nonsense against government, the then government used to call them and give them money.
“Kauran Gwandu will not call anybody and give him money. Kebbi government’s money belongs to the people of Kebbi.
“This is the money we are using to work for the betterment of our people, so, we cannot just give it out to some people for nothing,” he said.
The governor assured the new organisation of total support to enable it achieve its set goals and objectives.
Earlier, the Chairman of TKG, Alhaji Kabiru Labbo-Jega told the governor that the movement was not a campaign organisation but an entiry that was ready to propagate the good works of the governor and the present to the general public.
He said the essence of their meeting today was sensitise their executive members on the activities of the organisation and the best way to sell out the good works of the governor and the president.
Labbo-Jega added that the organisation aimed to bring a new dawn in the history of kebbi politics.
In his speech, the Director General of TKG, Alhaji Kabiru Sani-Giant said the organisation was established by the Managing Director, Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Umar Ahmed Farouk to promote President Tinubu and Gov. Idris’s projects.
He said the organisation was deep rooted into the grassroots level with a view to bringing people together towards achieving a common goal.
