The Governor of Kebbi State, Comrade Nasir Idris, has recommended a comprehensive psychiatric diagnosis for those who alleged his planned defection from the All Progressives Congress, APC, and betray President Bola Tinubu.
He made the statement on Thursday in Birnin Kebbi when workers paid him a solidarity visit to congratulate him on the successful hosting of the workers day.
According to him those “Mischievously alleging that I am part of a plan for defection from APC or betrayal to President Tinubu under any guise, is a clear exhibition of insanity resulting from possible psychiatric challenge “.
He further explained, “APC remains my first and last chosen political party, and President Tinubu remains my leader and the presidential candidate of the people of Kebbi State in 2027, I am not use to political prostitution “.
Nasir Idris disclosed that his relationship with President Tinubu is beyond politics but that of a caring father and reliable leader who has not only been supportive to him as state governor, but also consciously allocated many viable socio-economic development programmes and projects in Kebbi State, much more than some states.
He, therefore, advised the perpetrators of the ‘cowardly act of frustration and hopelessness’, to instead of creating an illusionary conflict of interest, subject themselves to a holistic psychiatric diagnosis for medical solution before they move to the streets.
The Governor was reacting to a recent publication in some media platforms where some politicians alleged that he and four other APC will defect from the party if President Tinubu did not replace Vice President Kashim Shetima in 2027.
Earlier in his brief remarks, the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abubakar Kana Zuru, told the governor that they were at his residence to congratulate him on the celebration of the International Workers Day by virtue of his position as an internationally acknowledged labour leader.
He used the occasion to tell the governor not to lose sleep over the mischievous allegations stressing that APC is deeply rooted and wholeheartedly supported by both the party leaders, non-partisan respected elders and the generality of the people of Kebbi State who have remained resolute and unshakeable in their support for President Bola Tinubu and Comrade Nasir Idris under the umbrella of the All Progressive Congress.
