Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, has announced that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will embark on a two-day state visit to Kebbi State to commission projects executed by his administration.
Naijaonpoint reports that the governor disclosed this on Sunday while receiving defectors from other political parties who joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jega Local Government Area.
Governor Idris revealed that the President would also attend the Argungu International Fishing and Cultural Festival scheduled to hold from February 11 to 14.
“I urge all citizens of Kebbi State to come out en masse to welcome Mr President. Because of his tight schedule, he may not be able to commission all the projects executed by our administration, but he will commission some historic ones,” the governor said.
He added that participants from across Nigeria and beyond were expected to attend the internationally renowned festival.
Speaking on recent political defections, Idris commended the new APC members for what he described as their foresight and assured them of equal treatment within the party.
He further noted that his administration had executed several development projects in Jega Local Government Area and pledged to sustain its development drive across the state.
