EFCC to question ex-gov Lamido on Thursday

Alhaji Sule Lamido, the immediate past Governor of Jigawa state has returned to the country from his foreign trip and promised to visit the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday.

Lamido stated this while speaking with newsmen in his Bamaina village in Birninkudu Local Government area of the state.

He said that EFCC was anti graft agency of the government, recognised by law, therefore, he would not shun the invitation. “I am aware of the invitation.”

According to him, he is always willing to honour this kind of invitation even when he is a governor that enjoys immunity.

Lamido, however, said he would not join issues with the incumbent governor on the debt he left before leaving office.

There was a conflicting figure on the debt inherited by APC-led government in the state.

The former governor said that while leaving office, he held a special council meeting, where he briefed the press on the liabilities he left.
