The Special Adviser to the Kebbi Governor on Power and Politics, Kabir Sani Giant, has urged the people of the state to distance themselves from the antics of former Justice Minister, Abubakar Malami, who is exploiting the gullibility of the citizenry in his desperation for power.
Speaking to Journalists in Birnin Kebbi, On Sunday, Kabir Giant said there was no Minister in the administration of late President Buhari as powerful as Malami, who could have intervened in bringing an end to insecurity, in the North West Zone, especially in his home state, Kebbi, but turned a blind eye to the problem.
"When he was in power, Malami has the capacity to mobilise the Army and other Security Services to nip the problem in the bud when it was in its embryonic stage but did nothing",
"The former Attorney-General possessed the power to talk to every Security Chief, but he refused",
"Throughout his sojourn as minister, Malami has never visited Kebbi on sympathy visit to victims of insecurity, nor offered any material or financial assistance",
"Now that he's desperate for governorship, the former Minister is mischievously bringing issue of insecurity to the fore, playing on the sensibilities of the people",
"Our Kebbi inhabitants know the truth, they can't be deceived by his antics, Governor Nasir Idris has placed premium on security matters unprecedented in the state",
"The Comrade Governor has procured and distributed more than 100 patrol vehicles to the Army and all Security Agencies, as well as thousands of motorcycles especially to Vigilantes and some to the military",
"He caters for the welfare of troops, regular maintenance of operational vehicles and other logistics",
"Idris has made overtures to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who ordered the deployment of 36 APCs, and the establishment of three additional Army formations in the state, with gallant combatants on ground, insecurity will soon become history in Kebbi",
"The people of Kebbi are wise, they voted for Comrade Idris in the first tenure and are set to vote for him in 2027 for second tenure, God's willing", Giant added.
