Abdulllahi Zuru, a political aide to Kebbi State Governor has stated that in recent weeks, it is evident that politicians in the state are apparently having a second thought of their present political fortune with a view to deciding the best option on the way forward, but there is no alternative to his boss, Governor Nasir Idris in 2027 general elections.
According to Zuru the alignment and realignment of strategies for the journey to 2027 has started, politicians of different parties and status are coming to terms with the reality of the fact that at this stage of the much needed socio-economic transformation of Kebbi state, coupled with the remarkable achievements recorded in all sectors within about two years of Nasir Idris administration, there is certainly the need for paradigm shift to the guaranteed option to the much needed sustainable needed development.
He noted that the realisation of the reality of the Governor’s determination and demonstrated commitment to service delivery must have been responsible for exodus of the people from different political parties to the All Progressive Congress (APC). While many members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state have been decamping to APC, others including the prominent remnants are believed to be in the process of also coming to terms with the reality of the fact that at this point and time, there is no alternative to Governor Nasir Idris, in the interest of the development of the state he declares.
“Continuous massive defection to APC is being witnessed as the Governor continue his thank you and consultation tour of the local governments.
“Now that it is glaringly clear and undoubtedly too, that Governor Nasir Idris demonstrated commitment to peace, unity, and all-inclusive governance, sustainable implementation of viable socio-economic development programmes are being appreciated by the beneficiaries.
“Commendations and expression of absolute confidence by all segments of the society in his ability and capacity to change the narrative of the state development”, Zuru said.
