Dear People of Kebbi State,
As our Christian brothers and sisters statewide celebrate the 2023 occasion of Christmas, I extend my warmest greetings and good wishes to all members of the Christian community in our beloved Kebbi state.
The teachings of Prophet Isa (AS) Jesus inspire us to embrace selflessness and sacrifice, values that are essential for building a harmonious and prosperous society. Let us reflect on these timeless principles and strive to embody them in our daily lives, spreading love, compassion, and goodwill to all.
I call upon the people of Kebbi State, regardless of religious affiliation, to continue offering their unwavering support and prayers for the government. Your support is vital as we work tirelessly to ensure the safety, economic prosperity, democratic strength, and social stability of our state. Together, we can overcome challenges and build a better future for all. The fact that no society or community has progressed or developed in an atmosphere of rancor and conflict attests to the urgent need for us as a people, guided by common destiny, to unite and work together in order to succeed together and be safe together.
Since we assumed office barely seven months ago, our actions have been informed by the desire to build a state that will be the pride of all and to launch it on the path of sustainable growth through sound and well-thought out development programs and policies.
Our ongoing efforts in combating banditry in parts of our dear state have yielded significant successes, and we remain resolute in our commitment to maintaining peace and security in the state. We have succeeded in making every inch of Kebbi land a hot spot for all manner of outlaws, and the fight, in response to the antics of bandits will continue unabated until we make out state safe for all law abiding citizens. We will continue to engage with lawless and criminally minded outlaws, guided by the successes achieved thus far.
Furthermore, the state government’s endeavors to enhance road infrastructure, schools, and healthcare facilities among others are rooted in our determination to rescue Kebbi State from the years of neglect and decay. We are dedicated to creating a more vibrant and sustainable environment for our citizens to thrive and prosper.
As we come together to celebrate the festive season, let us also reaffirm our collective resolve to work towards a brighter future for Kebbi State. May the spirit of the teachings of Prophet Isa (AS) fill our hearts with hope, unity, and benevolence as we strive to build a more prosperous and inclusive society for all.
I wish you all hitch free celebrations and a joyous holiday season.
Warm regards.
Signed
Yakubu Ahmed BK
