Nigerians react to Sani's agenda

Muhammad Babawo Umar commented on Facebook:

"Sir you have to say what is possible. Security is the exclusive power of federal. How can a state Governor tackle insecurity?"

Zubairu Shehu BK said:

"Like all other politicians, I believe, you're ready to listen to all sort of advice you may be given, being at the crossroad now. Mine to you is, when you secure the mandate, thank God and try as much as possible to put all odds behind you.

"If you allow vendetta to characterise your government you may finish your time without attaining these finely-crafted goals you set. Forget and forgive to write your name in golden ink, sir. Good luck!"

Amina Wali said:

"Just promise us that you will not undo what Mallam has done shikenan..build on it and perfect it and where necessary let it grow side by side with your agenda.

"That's the only way we will truly grow and develop. They say you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar..."

Moses Onwuzurike asked:

"Sir, how do you intend to raise capital to finance the welfare society you are projecting in your manifesto?"

Isa Mohammed said:

"This is so robust and encouraging. May God grant you the right to do all these and more. More blessings."
