The Kebbi State government has reacted to allegations made by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Guber candidate, Abubakar Malami, that the government demolished a plot of land belonging to him. The government has described Malami's claims as false and a desperate attempt to smear the government. Commissioner for Information and Culture, Alhaji Yakubu Ahmed, stated that the government did not authorize the demolition of the land and that the owner, Alhaji Ummaru Gulumbe, has clarified the situation.

According to Ahmed, Malami and his party dragged the Kebbi State government into the land dispute, claiming that the government's office complex was the one demolished. The government has ordered Malami and his party to retract their allegations and apologize or face legal action. Ahmed stated that Malami has a history of causing chaos and blaming it on the ruling party, but has failed to succeed due to the facts on the ground.

The government has warned Malami and his party to desist from making false claims and unprovoked verbal attacks on the person of Governor Nasir Idris. Ahmed stated that Malami's character trait is to desperately try to paint the Kebbi government in a bad light to win the hearts of voters. The government is taking a firm stance against Malami and his party, warning them of the consequences of their actions.

The land dispute in question is along the bypass road, and the owner, Alhaji Ummaru Gulumbe, has explained his side of the story. The government has clarified that it is not the owner of the disputed land and did not authorize anyone to demolish it. The government is standing by its position and is prepared to take legal action against Malami and his party if they do not retract their allegations.

Malami's claims have been described as a smear campaign against the Kebbi State government and Governor Nasir Idris. The government is taking the allegations seriously and is prepared to defend its reputation. The warning to Malami and his party is clear: retract their allegations and apologize or face the consequences.
