Not All Former Governors Were Corrupt – Isa Yuguda
Former Governor of Bauchi State, Malam Isa Yuguda
has dispelled the assertion that all former governors were corrupt while
in office.
In a statement issued from Abuja, the former governor assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari has the best intentions for the country.
Yuguda who governed Bauchi State between 2007 and 2015 said “We can discern clearly that President Buhari is trying to make things work. His clarity of purpose is as unmistakable as his sincerity. Nigerians should try to be patient. Take for example the situation in the oil sector where it has not been possible to dismantle the cartel in that sector in the past.
“Everybody has a critical role to play in the ongoing nation-building process including those who served in whatever capacity in the past. Our present political office holders need to accommodate the opinions of former public office holders for the collective benefit of the country. It is not everybody who once served that is corrupt. This mindset should change.
“On a very personal note, I did my best while in office but some misguided elements went on social media platforms to discredit me unjustly and ignorantly, accusing me of what I did not do. I leave them to Almighty Allah’s judgment. I served my people and my country to the best of my ability and conscience. I love my country. We have no other country we can call our own.”
