Barely 48 hours to the handing over to a new administration in the country, outgoing Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido has once again warned the incoming administration of the All Progressives Congress, APC, against giving excuses for not implementing its campaign promises.

Lamido gave the warning while performing his last public function in Dutse, the State Capital, where he commissioned the N302 million Jigawa State Independent Electoral Commission (JSIEC )office.

The governor said Nigerians would not tolerate any failure on its part as soon as it assumes office on May 29. He said Nigerians were impatiently waiting for the next government to make the country ‘heaven on earth’ as promised.

“We heard them asking Nigerians for patience on their inability to implement their electoral promises even before assuming office. They also said that they can’t achieve everything overnight and that everything should be done gradually. Which gradually? Is it now that they know that everything should be gradual?

“As Nigerians too, we are not going anywhere; we will keep tracking the government’s failures as there will be no tolerance and we must shout at them and they must work for Nigerians. Our government turned Nigeria into a new world, Jigawa State in particular, but because of selfish interests, they kept sabotaging, blackmailing and intimidating our government”, he stressed.

The outgoing governor further said that he had no regrets leaving office after two terms of eight years as governor, saying that the people of the state should be thankful to God for giving them a trustworthy and honest leader who made Jigawa an enviable state.
