The offer letters to the beneficiaries, comprising male and female members of APC, were presented to them at the party secretariat on Thursday.
The Chairman of the party in Kebbi State, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru, said at the presentation of the letter in Birnin-Kebbi, that the APC was proud of Governor Idris.
The chairman recalled that during their electioneering, they went to the nooks and crannies of the state seeking for people’s mandate by making different promises.
Kana-Zuru, however, noted with satisfaction that the governor had been able to fulfill about 80 percent of such promises, assuring that in no distant time, he would soon complete the rest and even go beyond.
He listed some achievements of the governor to include procurement and distribution of free fertilizer and foodstuff, construction of roads, solar power street lights and the completion of an ultra-modern state secretariat among others.
The chairman said: “If you haven’t visited Kebbi in the last one or two years, if you come today, you will never believe what your eyes are seeing.
“His Excellency, Kauran Gwandu, runs an open and inclusive government.
“He wants everybody to enjoy the fruits of democracy, that’s why he always tells his appointees to exhibit the habit of free will gift.
“On several occasions, our amiable governor is saying to allow the dividends of democracy to filter down to the public.”
Kana-Zuru assured the new appointees that they would start enjoying their salaries by the end of December.
Earlier, Hajiya A’isha Gulabi, the State APC Woman Leader, said they converged on the party secretariat to show appreciation for what Governor Idris did for them.
She urged the beneficiaries to be loyal and respectful so as to be able to enjoy more dividends of democracy.
Gulabi appealed to those who did not get the appointment to be patient for their turn coming soon.
A cross section of the benefiting youths who spoke expressed appreciation to the governor for keeping his promises.
