According to Daily Trust, there have been rumours that important players like the governors and former governors of the ruling party may be fighting it out to prove their importance as a result of the delay in communicating the ministerial list to the National Assembly.
However, Namadi, also known as Danmodi, claimed in an interview with Daily Trust in Dutse that President Bola Tinubu had been talking with governors and that when the list was eventually made public, there would be no animosity among them.
Governors were, of course, transported with us. We were indeed led along. Undoubtedly, Nigerians can anticipate a list that won’t incite animosity among us, he added.
The governor, who discussed a number of topics in this exclusive interview, also claimed that Jigawa State’s much-touted “calculator,” which has come to be associated with the state due to the fact that its former governor was known as “Mr Calculator,” was not as horrible as some people had been portraying it to be.
He clarified that the sensible and prudent use of governmental resources for the benefit of the general people was all that the “calculator phenomenon” actually meant.
“The issue is that this calculator thing is being misunderstood by folks. With the help of the calculator, you can make sure that resources are used wisely and that your money is being well spent. This government would attempt to do what is right for the people in order to make sure that every kobo is accounted for and to the greatest extent possible.
There is no justification for you to keep the money since it is intended to be used for the benefit of the people. Even under the previous administration, we exercised caution rather than hoarding money. Because of this, Jigawa State has been paying salaries on the 25th of every month for the past eight years, and we have been paying pensions on the 10th of the following month. This process is still in progress; we have already paid the wage even if the FAAC hasn’t been released, but we have,” he stated.
