Ramadan palliatives outburst: Kebbi government taunts political mischief makers – By Aliyu Usman,Birnin Kebbi

Kebbi State government has denied allegations of inadequate palliative distribution meant for the Ramadan fast, labelling it a “stage-managed drama” by opposition groups. 

 

Abdulllahi Idris Zuru, special adviser to the governor on communication and strategy in a statement on Sunday stated that  viral video showed a man, later revealed to be a psychiatric patient, claiming to have received one mudu of rice and another one of maize as his share from the Dandi local government Education Authority’s allocation allocation he is a staff but suspended for rejecting palliatives.

 

According to Zuru Investigations found that the man was a certified lunatic manipulated by desperate politicians to discredit the widely applauded support from  Governor Idris.

 

The government noted that as at the time the stage-managed drama was orchestrated, the Dandi local government’s allocation had not reached the local government headquarters and the entire procured grains did not include maize but only rice and millet as claimed by the lunatic. 

 

However, the state government is not unaware of how the distribution of the variety of the grains at the appropriate time by  Governor Nasir Idris and widely applauded by beneficiaries further devastated the hope of the opposition in 2027.

 

He added that the latest orchestrated campaign of calumny against Governor Nasir was among a series of such failed attempts started a year ago.

 

It all started with a stage-managed armed thuggery attack on some desperate politicians in Birnin Kebbi, preemptive and senseless exaggeration of armed banditry attacks in Tadurga village and consistent use of drugs addicted youths and prostitutes in foolishly discredit, through the social media the visibly and qualitatively executed socio-economic development of and projects

 

It should however be understood that no amount of blackmail, fabrication of falsehood and mischievous campaign of calumny can change the mindset of the people of Kebbi State on the capacity and political sagacity of Governor Nasir Idris return in 2027, based on his demonstrated commitment to peaceful coexistence and sustainable socio-economic development of the state.
