This is not true. This cannot be true.

Even though the video speaks for itself, we are constrained to disown it in its entirety and to state that it is the callous hands of mischief makers who are out to undermine the integrity of the governor.

“We should remain united and work collectively towards the progress of our nation by thinking positively about the leaders and providing constructive criticisms and solutions to any challenge we may face."

He reiterated his decision to hands off local government funds, stressing that local government chairmen found wanting for misappropriation of public funds belonging to their councils will be dealt with according to the law.

He gave this warning after swearing in the new Suleja Local Government Council Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Shuaibu Maje in Government House, Minna.

The governor who took a swipe on some undisclosed council chairmen, who were in the habit of diverting funds meant for payment of salary and provision of infrastructural development under the guise of using such funds on security, noted that such practice was inimical to the development of the state.

"We noticed that some council cannot pay salaries, even when we gave them autonomy and some of them are not making efforts to improve. We still try to support them because they were owing workers salary.
