Kebbi Governor Nasir Idris has approved the acquisition of a house to relocate a temporary Mosque in the Go-Slow Road area of Birnin Kebbi, near the family home of Kebbi's ADC gubernatorial candidate, Abubakar Malami, SAN. The governor's Special Adviser on Religious Affairs, Mallam Imrana Bin-Usman, revealed this after handing over the house's document to local residents.
Bin-Usman mentioned that the move came as a response to residents' request for a permanent place of worship following the administration's installation of solar street lights in the area. Governor Idris responded to the plea by instructing the purchase of the house to facilitate the relocation of the Mosque to a suitable location.
Local youth leader, Mallam Taslim Tukur-Kola, praised the governor's decision, highlighting that the community had not received such an intervention before, despite producing prominent politicians. He appealed to the governor to fund the construction of a Mosque and an Islamiyya school for children in the vicinity. Imam of the Mosque, Mallam Muhammad Sani, expressed gratitude for the governor's intervention and prayed for Governor Idris' political success and continued guidance in the state's affairs.
