Also speaking at the meeting, the Kebbi State PDP Chairman, Usman Suru, urged residents to persevere through the current hardship, assuring them that a better future is on the horizon.

On his part, the PDP gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 general elections, General Aminu Bande (retd,), criticised the widespread economic hardship in the state and across the country.

He accused the APC-led government in Kebbi of targeting opposition members through arbitrary arrests and detentions.

“We also agreed on the early conduct of the state congress, subject to the approval of the national leadership.

“I will support the PDP and any movement committed to ousting the APC and bringing good governance to Kebbi State and Nigeria,” Bande stated.
