Aide Defends Gov’s Absence From Yobe

Mutterings about the frequent absence of Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State from the state has been dismissed by his Special Adviser on Political and Legislative Matters, Alhaji Aji Yarima Bularafa.

In an interview with newsmen in Damaturu, the governor’s aide affirmed that the governor has not fully relocated as alleged by critics as he said that his absence from the state was in the interest of the state.

He said the governor was regularly engaged in state functions while outside the state.

“Anytime the governor goes out he looks for connection and it is for the betterment of Yobeans.

“All the accusations they are making are absolutely rubbish, anytime the governor left the state he brings prosperity to the state and he cannot just stay here and depend on our normal subventions, that is the money they share every end of the month from the federation account.

“We don’t have revenue accruing into the state as Internally generated revenue, what sources of revenue are we generating apart from the normal federation account money that is accruing to the Yobe State.

“The governor has to go and make some connections, he was with France ambassador to Nigeria lobbying for Tetfund intervention in our tertiary Institutions and we are expected to benefit from the Tetfund.”
