From Ola Muhammad, Birnin Kebbi
The Kebbi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for criticising the administration of Governor Nasir Idris, while its governorship candidate, Abubakar Chika Malami, is facing corruption-related proceedings in court.
The Acting Chairman of the APC in Kebbi State, Alhaji Adamu Mudi, stated this yesterday at a press conference in Birnin Kebbi.
It would be recalled that the ADC, at a press conference addressed by its Director-General of the Campaign Council, Hon. Sani Tadurga, accused the APC-led government of mismanaging public funds since its inception.
Reacting, Mudi said it was the people of Kebbi State, as well as the projects executed by the administration, that would speak for Governor Idris, rather than what he described as the “noise” of the ADC.
According to him, “The people of Kebbi are not blind. They can see where public money has gone.
“Under Governor Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, virtually every sector has been touched. On roads and urban renewal, the administration has dualised the Birnin Kebbi-Ambursa Road, expanded and beautified major roads, and provided solar-powered streetlights across Birnin Kebbi, Yauri and other centres.”

Mudi also said the administration had employed more teachers, rehabilitated schools and procured more than one million textbooks.
He further stated that 30 general hospitals and primary healthcare centres across the state had been renovated and upgraded, while additional general hospitals had also been constructed.
“These are the facts on the ground. When Governor Idris sought the mandate of the people, he promised to be fair, accountable, development-driven and responsible with the trust placed in him. Three years on, the record is there for any honest observer to inspect.
The APC acting chairman also questioned the ADC’s decision to make allegations against the Idris administration while its governorship candidate, Abubakar Chika Malami, is facing legal proceedings over alleged corruption.
Mudi recalled that after Malami left office as Minister of Justice, questions had been raised over his wealth and its alleged sources.
“As we speak, he remains in court. Nigerians have been waiting for answers. The courts have already acted on assets,” he said.
