Kebbi State branch Chairman of Inter-party Advisory Council, IPAC, has confirmed a cordial working relationship with Kebbi State government under Governor Nasir Idris which they said helped in growth of democracy.
The state chairman, Ibrahim Muhammed gave the confirmation, weekend, in a chat with our correspondent in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi state capital.
According to him the government of Kebbi State has been a partner in progress since the council began her struggle to entrench democratic governance which was demonstrated when they demanded grassroots democratic governance.
Muhammed noted that they never had any confrontation with state government over issues bordering on democracy and democratic governance at all levels.
“We have snergyised to strengthen democracy to bring grassroots and urban development, and we are witnessing same in the state”.
He urged existing parties to unite behind good policies of the government even as he admonished them to field candidates whenever there is any election in the state to strengthen their parties so as to get sound footing, saying doing such will bring competition and set the government on her toes all the time.
Speaking further, he said democracy thrive where there is fairness for all political parties and going by what is happening so far in the state, no party will cry foul as he believes Kebbi government will provide a level playing field for all willing democrats.
