The Jigawa State Governor Muhammad Badaru has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari is the best thing to happen to Nigeria since independence.
Baduru affirmed the position of some governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to him, some governors won’t be able to pay salaries without the support of the president.
Badaru said the claim is a fact and he supports the position, “100 percent”.
Badaru, who stated this on Thursday night, added that the Buhari administration is doing his best to resolve the crisis involving farmers and herders in the country.
Explaining why he totally supports the position, the governor said without the support of Buhari, some governors will not be able to pay salaries and carry out infrastructural development.
He said, “Certainly, I agree with the given circumstances we have now. I believe 100 percent. I know what I inherited. I know the trouble I got through. I know at one time, I even wanted to leave. Really, without the support of Buhari, we wouldn’t have raised our heads up as governors,” he said.
“If you remember, he bailed out all the states, gave 18-month support for us to pay salaries — all of the governors. He paid the Paris fund money for all to do infrastructure.”
