The growing political consciousness amongst Nigerians and their recognition of the entitlement to benefits from democratic governance provided by elected officials seem to be disconcerting certain aspiring politicians.
As the race towards the 2027 elections picks up speed, he suggests that voters are starting to accept the fact that the age of relying on political power brokers and ineffective practices no longer shapes their selection of leaders.
He stated that based on all signs, the focus should be on measurable evidence of altruism, efficiency, and successful implementation of significant development initiatives and programs.
A typical example of such glaring public change of mindset and complete departure from the previous deceitful era of imposition in the emerging democratic development and political awareness is being exhibited in Kebbi State.
Prior to entering party politics, Governor Nasir Idris Kauran Gwandu worked professionally as an educator and achieved the pinnacle of leadership within the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT). He later moved on to serve in the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), holding positions such as Elected National President and Deputy President successively.
In his time as a prominent figure in national labor unions, Nasir NUT, as he was commonly known back then, made a positive impact on numerous individuals across various community sectors. He also played a role in the upkeep of school facilities and helped supply educational resources to many institutions.
When Governor Nasir opted to enter politics at the request of many supporters, he chose to align with the All Progressives Congress (APC). By then, his reputation had become widely known, especially within the Gwandu Emirate region.
His long history of charitable acts has earned him widespread good will, prayers, and public praise. These factors significantly contributed to his selection as the gubernatorial nominee for the All Progressives Congress in the 2023 general elections, even though some overly ambitious politicians typically vie aggressively for such positions.
God has granted him the wisdom to successfully unite the political leadership of the different camps in the APC in Kebbi State.
He also considered as worth doing, the involvement of different interests groups which includes party stakeholders from top to bottom, traditional and religious leaders, non-partisan organisation and elders in the process of decision making of his administration, which has undoubtedly contributed to the successful implementation of his developmental programmes which have been acknowledged by the beneficiaries and widely publicised.
The bond he shares with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, characterized by deep respect and sincere dedication, has undoubtedly granted him entry into the Presidential Villa. This opportunity has led to beneficial outcomes for the socioeconomic and political progress of Kebbi State.
The amicable rapport between the two leaders led to several presidential approvals, including the cancellation of the long-abandoned Koko-Zuru federal road project which is now under the management of the Kebbi State government. Additionally, they approved the refurbishment of the Malando to Warra federal road, as well as the Maga to Gamji and Natsini to Kangiwa to Kamba federal roads. Furthermore, 250 kilometers out of the total 1,600 kilometers of the Ilela to Badagary Super Highway have been allocated to Kebbi State. The president also emphasized that future appointments to boards and commissions within the Federal Government must not be monopolized by particular groups, among other initiatives.
These various advantages, coupled with trust, complete assurance, and advantageous loyalty, have rendered Comrade Governor Nasir Idris a significant obstacle to the political aspirations of certain self-seeking and ineffective politicians in 2027 and beyond.
Therefore, there is no gain, concluding that such obvious fears are responsible for the campaign of calumny through fabrication of falsehood, mischievous allegations, and destructive criticism in different forms against Governor Nasir Idris Kauran GwanduAt this stage of the nation’s democratic development and political awareness, particularly in Kebbi State, it should be clearly understood beyond reasonable doubt, that the loyalty of Governor Nasir Idris to President Tinubu remains unshakeable, his commitment to the unity of the All Progressive Congress (APC) leadership and membership of the party at all levels in the country remains solid. In his words, ” No retreat, no surrender or political prostitution.”He advised the perpetrators and their hired conspirators to have a rethink their carwardly act of frustration and hopelesness and get prepared for the 2027 instead of creating an illusionary conflict.
