The Kebbi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has dismissed the African Democratic Congress, ADC’s questions over the state’s finances, saying the administration of Governor Nasir Idris has executed projects across various sectors.

The reaction followed the ADC’s questions over the implementation of the state’s 2025 budget and the difference between projected and actual revenue and expenditure.

Addressing journalists at the party secretariat in Birnin Kebbi on Friday, Acting APC Chairman Adamu Mudi Augi listed projects carried out by the administration, including the dualisation of the Birnin Kebbi-Ambursa Road, rehabilitation of schools, establishment of science and skills boarding schools, procurement of textbooks, and recruitment of teachers.

He also cited the upgrade of hospitals and primary healthcare centres, recruitment of health workers and construction of the 250-unit Kauran Gwandu Housing Estate.

On agriculture, Augi said the government had distributed fertiliser, seeds and solar-powered irrigation pumps to farmers.

DAILY POST had earlier reported that the state government rejected allegations of financial mismanagement over its N580.33 billion 2025 budget, saying the difference between projected and actual revenue represented unrealised revenue rather than missing funds.

The government had also said it adjusted expenditure in response to revenue shortfalls and spent nearly N240 billion during the year, including more than N152 billion on capital projects.

Reacting to the ADC’s concerns, Augi challenged the opposition party to focus on the administration’s projects and policies.

“Let them debate performance, not invent a fiscal mystery. The people of Kebbi can see the projects and assess the impact of the government’s programmes for themselves,” he said.
