Kebbi PDP splits over endorsement of Gov Idris for second term

Others insist there is no alternative to governor By Haruna Aliyu, Birnin Kebbi BIRNIN KEBBI — The Kebbi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been divided over calls to endorse Governor Nasir Idris for a second term in office, with some prominent party stakeholders backing his continuity while the state leadership has rejected the move.

The former governorship candidate praised the governor’s performance, citing the transformation of the state capital, reconstruction of the abandoned Koko-Zuru federal road, construction of township and intercity roads, and the establishment and rehabilitation of hospitals and educational institutions.“Let me therefore advise the few paperweight politicians that are shamelessly criticising the continuity for selfish political interest to give off and accept the fact that there is no alternative to Governor Idris, before they face painful regret and disgrace,” he added.
