Governor Abdullahi Sule says when the President leaves office and Nigerians begin to enjoy the result of his policies, they will bless him
Many Nigerians currently abusing President Muhammadu Buhari over the failing security and economic situation of the country, will later thank him for his policies, says Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State.
According to Premium Times, Governor Abdullahi Sule said this while addressing State House correspondents after he met with President Buhari at the State House on Tuesday.

“I told the president that some of your efforts for the country will be more appreciated when you leave office. Today, you are the architect of the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline. Recently Nasarawa State signed an MoU after our gas roundtable in the state capital Lafia, where the top management of NNPC was around,” Governor Abdullahi Sule said.
According to the report, Governor Abdullahi Sule commended Buhari for reforms in the gas sector.
“We discussed gas utilisation and we are bringing our own experience of what happened with the West African gas pipeline, where it was tapped from Sagamu into Ikeja and all the industries there are utilising gas.
“So for a country like Nigeria that has over 200 trillion standard cubic feet of gas, to say that somebody is building a gas pipeline for the utilization of gas, I don’t think that is a small thing but a lot will not understand this until maybe when the President leaves office and in future when we begin to have LPG everywhere for cooking and LNG so that most of our vehicles will convert to gas rather than petrol. Many cannot see now what is going to happen tomorrow and by that time they will say who did this and they would be told its President Buhari and people will bless him,” the governor said.
The governor said he was in the State House to thank the president for the support the state has received in the area of security, which has helped to sustain peace across the state.
“I came to express our great appreciation to the president for the great support we have continued to receive in the area of security. You must have heard there were several joint operations of the special forces; the military, police, air force and navy in the two local government areas that are bordering Abuja, Toto and Karu.
“The various operations have been very successful. When we heard recently that some of our schools were being targeted, we privately approached and the right actions were taken. We thank God that we have been able to dislodge those ones.
“Also we are here to express our happiness that as a result of some level of peace we have in Nasarawa State, we have been tagged as a state that is currently number one in sesame seed production, number two in yam production, number two in cassava and number five in rice production in the country,” he said.
