Kebbi Slams Critics, Says Gov Idris Doing Well!

Kebbi Slams Critics, Says Gov Idris Doing Well!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

The Kebbi State Government has strongly dismissed a trending write-up by a group identified as the “Concerned Citizens of Kebbi State,” which accused the administration of Governor Nasir Idris of underperformance. In a statement released on Sunday, the government described the claims as “false, malicious, and hollow.”

The article circulating online had criticized Idris’ leadership on issues of infrastructure, welfare, and transparency, barely two years into his tenure.

“These faceless critics are out to distract the government from its focused development agenda. Kebbi is witnessing steady progress under Governor Idris,” the statement read.

Key Details:

• The state government cited ongoing projects in education, road construction, and healthcare delivery as evidence of the governor’s performance.
• It noted that the criticisms lacked credible data and were politically motivated.
• Government officials say transparency mechanisms are in place and budgets are publicly accessible.

Why It Matters:

• The public defence reflects growing tensions between the government and critics ahead of midterm reviews.
• The governor’s image and credibility are crucial for policy continuity and political support.
• It also underscores a broader trend ofq citizen-led accountability campaigns in Nigerian states.

What to Watch:

• Whether the group will respond with further evidence or petitions.
• Possible increase in public engagement on governance and development tracking in Kebbi.
• Future media strategy by the Idris administration amid rising scrutiny.
