‘I spend three days in a month in Yobe’ — governor replies critics who accused him of abandoning state

Mai Mala Buni, governor of Yobe, says he spends at least three days in a month in the state.

Speaking in an interview with the BBC, the governor said he carries out his duties effectively even when he is not in the state.

Buni was reacting to criticism that he has been largely absent from the state since he took over as the caretaker chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He added that his duty in the ruling party is not hindering his efforts to discharge his responsibilities.

“On the issue of staying, there is no way I can spend a month without spending three or four days in Yobe state. And then even if I return to Yobe, I won’t or make it public that today I will be in Yobe and tomorrow I will be leaving,” the governor said.

“Wait, Let me land, listen to me, I won’t be revealing to the public that I came to Yobe or when I am leaving. And at this age of technology, when will anybody say that there were bunch of files waiting for me? Even before I came here I don’t know the numbers (of files I treated).”

Life of a typical northern politician. They only go to office when allocation is paid by the Federal government. After butchering the money, they go back to the major cities. Their people are not bothered. Just ask Hisbah to go about destroying bottles of alcohol and banning people from mentioning black Friday and you will see the people shouting ranka daidai.

Arrrrrrrh

“On the issue of staying, there is no way I can spend a month without spending three or four days in Yobe state.

Am perplexed here, what did he mean?
Did he mean he can spend 26 days out of his own state? That's literally like aboundaring your state?

Am confused ooo!

This governor deserves to be impeached if truly he made such insensitive statement. Imagine the effrontery? You are spending 90% of your time as governor outside your states and you can still boldly say so? Yobe citizens deserves better.

that's the usual stupid statement you ers of daft politicians make.

Sometimes, silence is the best option. This isn't a talk from Buni

The audacity!

Some local government in his state have been overrun by Boko Haram, killing, kidnaping, raping, maiming...etc. And he's not even ashamed to say that he spends only 3 out of 30 days in his state. Truly we deserve the kind of leaders we have in this country.

Don't understand the rationale behind ruling outside your state..

Running away from the monsters they created while the masses are slughtered like chickens

Mediocrity

And I can bet that those three days are when the monthly allocation credit alert is received. 36 days in a year, that is 4.8 months in 4 years, is what he spends in the state that he was selected to govern.

If this is not an impeachable offence, I don't know what is.
