Most of the towns and villages have been electrified in Kano State and we did that without borrowing. I will do an improved version of what I did in Kano State. It will start with me because as long as you are soiled you do not have the right to say do not steal. The President must be upright and it goes down to the civil service. There is so much money in the country to carter for all of us”. The NNPP Presidential candidate stated.
