Strengthening Internal Party Ties in Gulumbe

The political atmosphere in Kebbi State is intensifying as top administration officials begin formalizing support for the current government's future electoral prospects. During a high-profile Sallah visit to Gulumbe town in the Birnin Kebbi local government area, Alhaji Umar Gulumbe, the Director General of the Rural Access Roads Agency, issued a directive to party loyalists to maintain unmitigated support for Governor Nasir Idris. The gathering served as a strategic platform to consolidate the relationship between state-level leadership and the ward executives who form the grassroots foundation of the All Progressives Congress.

Infrastructure Impact as a Political Mandate

According to Alhaji Gulumbe, the rationale for continued loyalty lies in the measurable impact of the Idris administration on the lives of ordinary citizens. He noted that the visit was not merely a social homage but a deliberate effort to strengthen existing ties and communicate a resolve to garner sustained support. By highlighting the positive changes occurring across the state, particularly in rural access and infrastructure, the Director General is positioning the Governor’s performance as the primary argument for his political longevity and administrative continuity.

Grassroots Endorsement of the Mass Oriented Agenda

In a collaborative show of solidarity, Zayyanu Abubakar Gulumbe, a Senior Special Assistant to the Governor, echoed these sentiments during the reception of the party delegation. He pledged to work holistically with local executives to push for a second term for Governor Idris, characterizing him as a leader of the masses. The aide emphasized that the Governor’s works speak for themselves, suggesting that the administration's track record in governance provides a self-evident justification for its reelection bid in the 2027 cycle.
