BREAKING: Pres Bola Ahmed Tinubu Arrives Kebbi, Opens New Government Complex
President Bola Tinubu has commended Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris for executing major projects across the state.
Tinubu spoke on Saturday in Birnin Kebbi during the official opening of the newly completed State Secretariat Complex, which was named after him.
He also inaugurated several other projects completed under the Idris administration.
The president said he was not surprised by the governor’s achievements.
“I know what you can do. You are a man of mission and vision. I am always proud of you,” Tinubu said, describing Idris as a focused leader who cares deeply for the people.
Tinubu further thanked the people of Kebbi for supporting the state government, noting that their cooperation had helped the administration realise its objectives.
He assured Nigerians that the Federal Government would continue to support states in delivering development, particularly in infrastructure, healthcare, and education.
Among the projects inaugurated was the Birnin Kebbi Central Motor Park, built to improve transportation and stimulate business activities in the state capital.
Tinubu also opened the newly expanded three-lane road along Emir Haruna Road, the Kauran Gwandu College of Nursing and Midwifery Sciences in Ambursa, and the dualised Old Argungu Bypass.
The State Secretariat Complex, which cost billions of naira, was initially commenced in 2012 but was later revived and completed by Governor Idris.
The project is considered part of efforts to modernise government offices across the state.
Tinubu’s one-day visit also coincided with the closing ceremony of the 61st Argungu International Fishing and Cultural Festival, where he attended as Special Guest of Honour.
Edo North senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has playfully called out Senate President Godswill Akpabio for breaching truce over ‘massaging women’s legs’ comment.
At plenary on Thursday, Oshiomhole said he signed a truce of no more hostilities, stating that Akpabio breached the agreement by reverting to previous matters.
DAILY POST reports that Akpabio had mocked Oshiomhole over the viral video allegedly showing him massaging a woman’s leg aboard a private jet.
The Senate President stated that the Senate initially ignored the footage because it was suspected to have been generated using artificial intelligence, AI.
Recall that a video which surfaced on X on February 3, 2026, sparked widespread reactions after it allegedly showed the former Edo State governor massaging a woman’s leg inside a private jet, days later the lawmaker debunked the video stating that it was AI.
Joking over it at the plenary, Oshiomhole said, “I want to report to this house that the senate president and I we signed a truce of no more hostilities and senate president breach the truce by reverting to previous matter, the truce stands, you should not violate, I will not violate.”
Responding, Akpabio said, “Let me first of all apologize to Oshiomhole if whatever I said could in any way injure him or feel offended.”
