The governor noted that his decision was a matter of principles, stressing that Buhari remained his only boss.“I have left all those issues to political parties not because the president is doing everything right but because he is not God. “He might not be doing everything 100 per cent but it is not my duty to castigate my boss and will only face my duties.“It is also not my duty to write petitions about the past administration in the state and I am focused towards my duties as child of God who has a calling and is committed,” he said. The governor noted that corruption was not a party affair but an issue that has to do with the individual engaging in it.“The Bible says that with the fear of God, men depart from evil and without effective tackling of corruption, Nigeria will never develop. “No member of the opposition can stand for election with me because they have no base in the state and are only deceiving the people.“They are not working for the president as they deceitfully claim but are big minuses for the opposition party because most of them don’t own houses in the state. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that journalists and individuals across the state and beyond asked questions on state and national issues.Top government officials including the Secretary to the State Government, the Chief of Staff, legislators and some cabinet members, among others, were however locked out because of lateness.But they were admitted into the venue after the interactive session.
