Governor Ganduje not wicked, malicious – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has called for a culture of completing important projects on schedule and on budget, regardless of which administration started them.

During a courtesy call on the Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, on Thursday in Kano, President Muhammadu Buhari praised Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, saying that the governor’s completion of projects started by his predecessors was a demonstration of strength and strong leadership.

In stressing the need to create such a culture among the general public, President Buhari said he is pleased to see the Governor initiate and complete projects, adding that he is equally happy seeing him completing projects initiated by his predecessors.

“It shows that he is not wicked or malicious,” said the President.

The President said he was glad with the many projects the Governor is putting in place, adding that this is the only way to justify the resources that are being managed on behalf of the people.

Governor Ganduje in his remarks expressed the gratitude of the government and the people of Kano for the care and love lavished on them by the President as manifested by key appointments as well as the many ongoing federal projects, including the Kano-Kaduna modern railway project, which construction the President kicked off in the city in the morning.

Emir Aminu Ado Bayero welcomed the President to the Palace which he said has always served as his home. He commended the President for carrying out so many infrastructure projects in the state and across the nation in spite of the global economic meltdown caused by the Coronavirus pandemic but urged that more attention be paid to the problems of security, poverty and food inflation.

He equally urged his subjects to pray and show patience and understanding towards their leaders.
