The Governor also said “As I speak to you, I am thinking of exposing those government officials that has been stealing public funds. Right from the day I assumed office, my administration has made concerted effort and blocked all avenues government officials have been  looting the state. And equally, I have been able to save up to N100million to the state government account and the IGR has greatly improved within this one year in office.”
