Kebbi State Government has warned the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protesters in the state to ensure they conduct themselves in a peaceful way.
The warning came in a broadcast on Friday morning by the Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Nasir Idris.
Furthermore, Idris issued a strong warning to those attempting to import miscreants into the state to cause mayhem.
His words, “Information available to us states that some people are trying to import miscreants from other places into Kebbi to cause mayhem, especially in Birnin Kebbi, Argungu, Jega, Yauri, and Zuru town.
“Whosoever knows the people of Kebbi State knows that they are people who always respect the laws of the land, and protesting is not in our character, but some people want to import it by force to achieve their personal aggrandizement.”
He maintained that his government would continue to support the protesters but vowed that his government would not allow people who do not have the interests of the people at heart to use the protest for vandalism of public utilities, shops, and other property.
“Available information states that some people want to go to the water board to perfect their vandalism mission, but it baffles me to hear that they are targeting the water board. What do they want at a place that serves the general public water?
“This is a clear indication that some bad elements want to use the protest to undermine the peace the people of Kebbi are enjoying,” the governor noted.
He, however, said his government was doing everything possible to address the plights of the people of Kebbi.
“Therefore, we want to plead with the organisers of this protest to see reason in putting an end to it. They only know the beginning but they won’t know its end.
“If you have a good motive behind the protest, some people may have ill motives, and anything destroyed in the course of the protest in Kebbi is to the disadvantage of the people of Kebbi.”
