Kebbi State government has received over 70,000 kebbi displaced people from the north-west zone of the country. This was disclosed by the kebbi state governor, Usman Saidu Dakingari while addressing the PDP supporter at KoKo during the gubernatorial campaign rally, adding that some of them lost their parents, children and business to the insurgence.

He said no religion preaches violence, he therefore urged the people most especially the youths to leave in peace and avoid taking any illicit drug.

The governor explained that out of the seventy people some are from Bunza, Arugungu,Ambusar, Jega, kalgo local government area of the state and some party of Niger state.

He further pointed out that there is need for leaders and the masses to start leaving in peace with one another irrespective of religion and ethnic difference “we are all one, this killing of innocent souls is too much, it is good we should look for a credible leader, our religious leaders should continue to promote peace and harmony in their places of worship” he added.

He then admonished the party supporters to support their gubernatorial candidate in order for them to see the effective changes.
