The Governor who gave this warning in
Burra on Sunday, March 13 at the distribution of empowerment materials presented
by the member representing Burra constituency at the state house of
assembly, Honourable Abdullahi Sa’ad Abdulqadir said it is unfair to
accuse the All Progressives Congress governments at various levels which
have only been in office for less than a year "for not doing enough to
clear the inherited rot" made by the past administrations in 16 years.
He said for anybody to accuse the All Progressives Congress
administrations for being slow, the APC administrations should be
allowed to spend 16 years in office before such “conclusions can be
reached”. Governor Abubakar noted that the state of insecurity the
country found itself under the past administration has become a thing a
past under the president administration, but regretted that the critics
of the administration appeared to have forgotten all that, and added
that score is made “in the anticorruption crusade launched by the
President”.
The Governor therefore charged the opposition to
scout for better issues of national interest to engage the APC
administrations on and stop criticizing the foreign trips of the
President and the anticorruption campaign launched by his
administration. He explained that since the federal government under
President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office last year, the nation’s
economic fortunes have been dwindling.
He said with the blockades
of leakages and loopholes through which public treasury was being
siphoned as well as foreign trips embarked upon by the president,
adequate resources that will finance more than half of the 2016 budget
have been saved by the President.
The Governor assured that the President and all
APC governors are working assiduously to turn around the economy and
reduced over dependence on oil revenue.
