Kebbi Politicians Flock To APC Amidst Governor Idris’ Growing Popularity

A significant shift in the political landscape of Kebbi State is underway as politicians across party lines express renewed interest in aligning themselves with Governor Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu’s administration.

The move, observers say, is driven by the Governor’s demonstrable commitment to socio-economic development and his growing popularity amongst the electorate.

In recent weeks, a noticeable exodus from opposition parties, particularly the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has been observed.

This surge in defection coincides with Governor Idris’ ongoing thank you and consultation tours across the local government areas.

Political analysts attribute this trend to the tangible achievements of the Governor’s administration within its first two years.

The significant strides made across various sectors have evidently impressed even long-time opponents.

The Governor’s commitment to peace, unity, and inclusive governance is also cited as a key factor attracting support.

“The reality is sinking in,” commented one political observer who requested anonymity.

“Governor Idris’ dedication to sustainable development is undeniable, and at this crucial stage of Kebbi State’s transformation, many see no alternative to his leadership.”

While the APC welcomes new members with open arms, a clear message has been issued: genuine commitment to the state’s development, total support, and unwavering loyalty are essential prerequisites for acceptance within the party.

The party leadership emphasizes that the focus remains on delivering on its promises to the people of Kebbi State.

The ongoing political realignment underscores the growing influence of Governor Idris and suggests a potential dominance for the APC in the run-up to the 2027 elections.

However, the party has cautioned against complacency and stressed the need for continued service delivery and commitment to the people.
