Former Kebbi State Governor, Sa’idu Nasamu Dakingari, has said Governor Nasir Idris deserves a second term in office, citing the development projects executed by his administration in its first three years.
Dakingari, who is the Director-General of the Kebbi State All Progressives Congress Campaign Council, said there was no reason Idris should not serve two terms, noting that his predecessors, including himself, spent eight years in office.
On Monday, he addressed the launch of the state APC Campaign Council at the Presidential Banquet Hall in Birnin Kebbi, where party officials and other participants assembled to initiate preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The ex-governor, who led the APC campaign council in 2023, conveyed assurance that the party would maintain its power in the state and achieve success for President Bola Tinubu nationally.
“If the last three governors, myself included, had eight-year terms, why shouldn’t Comrade Governor Nasir Idris also have the same, especially considering the remarkable progress made in just three years?” Dakingari inquired.
He credited the party’s electoral chances to the participation of past governors, current and former members of the National and State Assemblies, along with other significant political figures in the campaign council.
Dakingari conveyed gratitude for the chance to head the council and committed to collaborating with fellow members to achieve success for APC candidates.
Earlier, Governor Idris stated his belief that the quality of people chosen for the campaign council would enhance the party’s political mobilization leading up to the elections.
He stated that the council gathered seasoned politicians, technocrats, scholars, business executives, former military personnel, and various professionals with established records of achievement.
The governor stated that its members consist of retired generals, ex-controllers-general of paramilitary organizations, distinguished scholars, NGO representatives, and esteemed community leaders.
He stated that the blend of political experience, professional knowledge, and grassroots ties would provide the APC with the backing necessary to secure victory inthe 2027 elections.
“With such a caliber of individuals, strong grassroots political backing, and a proven history of selfless service, we are prepared for victory for APC candidates in Kebbi State in 2027,” said Idris.
The governor encouraged council members to show dedication and collaborate to achieve success for the party at every level.
The campaign council is led by Governor Idris, with Dakingari as the Director-General, supported by a deputy chairman, three deputy directors-general, and a secretary.
