How Buhari Stopped My Resignation – Gov Baduru

Governor Baduru Abubakar of Jigawa State has explained how President Muhammadu Buhari excellent performance as governor made him to abandon his thought of resignation from office.

The governor who featured on a Channels Television programme, Politics Today was asked if he agreed with some other governors who had described Buhari as the best thing to have happened to Nigeria?

Replying, he said:

“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.

The Jigawa governor noting how according to him, Buhari stopped his thought of resignation upon the challenges that confronted him, he said:
“I even wanted to leave. Really, without the support of Buhari, we wouldn’t have raised our heads up as governors.

“If you remember, he bailed out all the states, gave 18-month support for us to pay salaries, I mean all of the governors. He paid the Paris fund money for all to do infrastructure.”

The Governor also acquitted President Buhari of blame in matters concerning the herdsmen crisis in the country saying that the matter was long there before the president came to power.

“The Fulani herdsmen crisis with the farmers has been brewing for so many years, and that developed over time because of the neglect of past leaders.”

“Unfortunately for us, it gets right at this time and President Muhammadu Buhari is doing his best to solve this problem and curtail the onslaught.

“If we look at this critically and analyse it critically, certainly the banditry and kidnapping did not start with Buhari, it just continued,” he said.

Governor Baduru alongside Governor Atiku Bagudu and the All Progressives Congress, APC caretaker chairman, Governor Mala Buni of Yobe State are reputed to be the most influential in the affairs of the APC presently.

He succeeded Governor Sule Lamido who is generally believed to have laid the foundation for the transformation of Jigawa State.
