The Kebbi State administration has labeled claims that it left local communities unprotected from bandits as entirely untrue and politically inspired. Ahmed Idris, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, released a statement on Saturday clarifying that Governor Nasir Idris is consistently collaborating with security forces to manage the situation.
The government noted that political opponents are spreading inaccurate narratives to suggest that vulnerable areas have been ignored. Officials explained that many security initiatives remain confidential due to their sensitive nature. The administration emphasized that a lack of public disclosure regarding specific operations does not equate to inaction.
Governor Nasir Idris maintains a firm focus on the security of residents and property. By coordinating with relevant agencies, his administration aims to restore peace, allowing citizens to resume their daily lives and farmers to return to their fields without anxiety. Officials cautioned politicians against exploiting regional insecurity for personal gain, urging them to act with greater integrity. Addressing these challenges requires strategic planning, cooperation, and privacy rather than public posturing.
