The Kebbi State Government has accused a top official of the immediate past administration in the state (name withheld) as the mastermind behind the sabotage of the incumbent administration’s efforts at ensuring constant electricity supply to the state.
As a result, the sitting government vowed to decisively deal with any individual or group conniving with the officials of the Kaduna Electric Distribution Company to sabotage electricity supply to Kebbi State.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters and Energy, Alhaji Kabiru Sani-Giant, made this disclosure and allegation while speaking in the state capital, Birnin Kebbi.
Sani-Giant explained that the state government is doing everything within its powers to improve the welfare of its people, hence the need for the residents to complement the gesture.
According to him, “Honestly, the state government is doing everything possible to improve the welfare of its people, hence the need for the people to complement the government’s gestures.
“We have found out that the former Special Adviser on Power to the past administration, (name withheld), is trying to sabotage the present administration’s efforts in providing social amenities to its citizenry.
“He is conniving with KAEDCO officials to disconnect electricity in some government organisations,” Sani-Giant alleged.
Sounding tough, he warned the suspected former special adviser and officials of KAEDCO to desist from any act capable of causing trouble, even as he assured that the state government would not hesitate to deal with any one found wanting.
Meanwhile, all efforts by Arewa PUNCH to speak with the former special adviser were unsuccessful as his phone number was “not reachable” as at the time of filing this report and he had yet to respond to the SMS forwarded into his phone.
