We hope this verdict will spur His Excellency to double his efforts in the good work he is doing for the betterment of the masses, especially in the areas of agriculture, health, education, security, among other sectors.”
He urged the good people of Kebbi State to keep on praying for the governor, to continue with the good deeds he has started.
Also speaking the Khadimiyya BOT Chairman along with Hon Faruku Maisudan called on the opposition in the state to join hands with Dr Nasir’s administration to move the state forward, saying that patriotism should now be the driving factor with a view to bolstering even socio-economic development of the state.
