Amosun said given where Alhassan's loyalty lies, she cannot make any meaningful contribution to the Buhari administration.

Ogun State Governor,

Amosun said the minister should have resigned before pledging allegiance to Atiku, adding that she cannot be loyal to two masters.

The Governor stated this while speaking to newsmen in Abeokuta, the state capital, on Saturday, September 9.

Amosun said given where Alhassan's loyalty lies, she cannot make any meaningful contribution to the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

He said: "Though she is entitled to her own opinion at any point in time, she should have just resigned her appointment because her loyalty cannot be in two places.

"Her falling short of resigning, takes everything away from what she said and it is clear that she will no longer be contributing to the development of the present administration."

According to him, the only thing that can stop Buhari from running for a second term in office would be ill-health.

"The only thing that can prevent President Muhammadu Buhari from contesting is if his health cannot take it," he said.

The Governor said the economic challenges Nigeria is facing would have been worse if Buhari was not in power.

"If not for this present administration, only God knows where Nigeria would have been. When the government came on board, it was like jumping into the pool at the deep end," he said.
