“Let him not say I came and met a debt of 50 billion naira, of course, I will not do that.”
The governor also revealed he was confident of his various achievements across the state to which his detractors have commended him.
“It is not about how much money you have amassed, it is what legacy you have put on ground, that once you leave can you turn left or right and say I am happy, I am justified, I have not disappointed my people.”
“I made promises and those promises have been fulfilled ”
“I can put my two hands in my pocket and walk confidently on the road and say I thank God Almighty for the opportunity.”

He also asked his fans to ignore pretenders to the state’s top spot.
