In an effort to sway Kebbi voters to cast ballots in the 2023 elections, the Labour Party’s candidate for governor of Kebbi State, Gambo Tarsel, announced his party’s action plan for the state on Monday at the party’s office in Birnin Kebbi.
The state has been in a comatose state in terms of development, education, and other crucial areas, according to Gambo, who revealed his plans to newsmen in Kebbi. He claimed that since 1999, successive governments in the state have failed to meet the demands of electorates.
He pointed out that Kebbi State clearly lacks governance, therefore the Labour Party must step in to help the struggling state by first establishing inclusive governance, which will then stabilize all crucial areas like education, the economy, security, and agriculture.
According to him, if elected as governor in 2023 Labour Party will turn Kebbi from a consuming state to production state which would be achieved through the resuscitation of moribund industries, to not only bring revenues but also create jobs for the teeming youth.
Tarcel stated that, Argungu Fishing Festival and other cultural events in the state like Uhola in Zuru, Rigata in Yauri would be upgraded to international standards to attracts foreign tourist to the state.
Asked on his plans for women and security given the situation of Zuru his home local government being bedeviled by banditry, killings and kidnappings. His words: “security is not something we can discuss before the cameras but we have strong plans to tackle security challenges in the state, as for women we intend to provide start up capitals for those who want to do business while those in school will get a good sponsorship to study their chosen disciplines.”
“When we come onboard, we shall give Birnin Kebbi, the state capital its deserving look because it now looks like a glorified local government headquarters when you compare it to our mates as it was created since 1991, but very few things were done in the state capital.”
