Lamido

The immediate past governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido has announced his readiness to honour the invitation given to him by Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) on alleged  financial misappropriation.

 The former governor revealed this while fielding questions from newsmen shortly after he returned to the country from foreign trips yesterday.

 He said, to the best of his knowledge he served Jigawa State to the best of his ability and for this he has nothing to hide or to fear.

 “EFCC has invited me, and being an institution created by law, I am ready to honour the invitation, in fact I will visit their office in Abuja tomorrow, Thursday”.

 “EFCC had invited many former governors and other public office holder, so I am not the first and I would not be the last”.

 “Let me remind you EFCC had one time arrested and detained my son for not declaring $40,000 when he was travelling to Egypt along with his wife and children,” Lamido said

 He also expressed profound gratitude to thousands of his political associates and followers who received him from Dutse International Airport and escorted him to his home town Bamain in a grand reception.

 Lamido had left Nigeria on 20th May for his annual leave and left the state to the former SSG Lawan Abdu as acting governor.
