It is not clear what Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi feels now for orgnising the 28th Anniversary of the creation of Kebbi State.

Gov Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State: Everything ok, Excellency?
Added to the youths taking to the streets to protest prolonged darkness following their suspicion that some actors have blocked their 24 hour electricity supply trade off, it might not have been such a good week for the governor. This is particularly so that it is understood that other dignitaries who spoke at the occasion were all against His Excellency. And they included General Ishaya Bamaiyi, a former Chief of Army Staff, (COAS) and Justice Usman Mohammed, a former Justice of the Supreme Court. It all suggests that everything is not ok in Kebbi State too as in many other states in Nigeria.
