Governor Nasir Idris has disclosed that President Bola Tinubu would attend the Argungu International Fishing and Cultural Festival holding from February 11 to 14.

Speaking yesterday while receiving defectors from other political parties who joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Jega Local Government Area, the governor urged citizens to welcome the President.

He also highlighted that participants from across Nigeria and beyond are to attend the Argungu International Fishing Festival.

On the recent political defections, Governor Idris commended the newcomers for their foresight and assured them of equal treatment within the APC.

He further noted that his administration had executed several development projects in Jega Local Government Area, and pledged to sustain its development drive across the state.

The Argungu International Fishing and Cultural Festival, the 61st edition, marks the return of the fiesta after its postponement in 2025 to allow for infrastructural improvement.
