The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Kebbi State Chapter has strongly condemned the recent banditry attack on Mera Community in Augie Local Government Area, describing the incident as both shocking and unfortunate.
The State Chairman Alhaji Usman Bello Suru, extended heartfelt sympathies on behalf of the Working Committee, Party Elders, and the State Working Committee to the State Government, Argungu Emirate Council, and Augie Local Government Council.
In a related message, the PDP called on the Kebbi State Government to halt the use of public resources on what it termed “frivolous foreign trips” that have yielded little benefit for the state. Rather than seeking financial support from countries facing their own economic challenges, the PDP urged the government to invest these resources in creating an environment that attracts sustainable investments within Kebbi State.
The party suggested that funds be directed towards establishing and equipping Free Trade Zones, International Border Markets, and reviving industries at Bulasa Industrial Layout.
Emphasizing the need for meaningful and effective local investment, the PDP advised the state government to focus on initiatives that would foster long-term economic growth, stability, and employment opportunities for the people of Kebbi.
