Governance: Idris counsels people on constructive criticism

Gov. Nasir Idris of Kebbi, has counseled people to imbibe the habit of constructive criticism against any government to pave way for a decent, fair, and responsible democracy.

He stated this while receiving a newly formed organisation, “Tinubu Kauran Gwandu Continuity Movement (TKG)”, on a courtesy call at Government House, Birnin Kebbi, on Wednesday.

The governor advised that those who want to criticise must do that constructively, and with verifiable facts.

The governor said that some people often lock themselves in a room and write what they want.

“You can continue to write whatever you like against us in the next 10 years; it doesn’t concern us.

“During the previous administrations, the same set of people used to lock themselves in a room and write nonsense against government; government will then call them and give them money.

“Kauran Gwandu will not call anybody and give him money because he is writing all sorts of lies against the administration. Kebbi government’s money belongs to the people of Kebbi.

“This is the money we are using to work for the betterment of our people, so, we cannot just give it out to some people for nothing,” he said.

The governor assured the new organisation of total support to enable it achieve its set goals and objectives.

Earlier, the Chairman of TKG, Alhaji Kabiru Labbo-Jega, had told the governor that the movement was not a campaign organisation but an entity that was ready to propagate the good works of the governor and that of the present to the general public.

He said the essence of the meeting was to sensitise the executive members on the activities of the organisation and examine the best way to sell the good works of the governor and the president.

Labbo-Jega added that the organisation was out to bring a new dawn in the history of kebbi politics.

In his speech, the Director General of TKG, Alhaji Kabiru Sani-Giant said the organisation was established by the Managing Director, Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Umar Ahmed Farouk, to promote President Tinubu and Gov. Idris’s projects.
