He further noted that Governor Idris runs an open government, urging appointees to embrace transparency and ensure that the benefits of democracy reach all levels of society.
“His Excellency runs an open and inclusive government. He wants everybody to enjoy the fruits of democracy; that’s why he always tells his appointees to exhibit the habit of free-will gifts,” Kana-Zuru added.
In her remarks, the APC Women Leader in Kebbi, A’isha Gulabi, expressed her gratitude on behalf of the newly appointed youths. She underscored the broader impact of the appointments, emphasizing that they were not only for the appointees but for the entire Kebbi community.
“Because the appointments are not for the appointees, it’s for all of us, and many people stand to benefit from it,” Gulabi stated.
She also appealed to the youth to remain patient, loyal, and respectful, assuring those who had not been appointed yet that more opportunities would arise in the future.
Beneficiaries of the appointment echoed similar sentiments, lauding Governor Idris as a leader dedicated to serving the people and ensuring that democracy’s benefits reach every part of Kebbi State.
