Shema Is The Only Governor That Will Be Leaving Office Without Debt – Ribadu by lalasticlala(m): 1:56pm On May 10, 2015
Former anti-corruption boss, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has stated that the Governor of Katsina state, Ibrahim Shema is the only governor to be leaving office without an outstanding debt.

The former Adamawa State governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) made the statement on Shema’s conferment with The Sun Outstanding Performance Exit Award.

While delivering a congratulatory message at the event which held in Lagos yesterday, Ribadu said it was a well-deserved award.

While extolling Shema, he disclosed, “He is not just a friend but a brother and a classmate. We started in Ahmadu Bello Univer­sity the same day in 1980 and we have remained friends up till now. I am standing here on behalf of the class of 83 of the Ahmadu Bello University and class of 84 of the Nigerian Law School. I am here on behalf of all of us to share this mo­ment of joy with our friend.

“We know Ibrahim as a very intelligent person and the best in our class and as someone who was very very meticulous and detailed in whatever he was doing. Within the last eight years, he has changed the face of government in Katvery meticulous and very sina and we are very proud of you, not just by what you have done but the legacy that you have left behind also.

“He is the only governor that is going to leave the office with no ­debt behind. He has paid all, including salaries of the workers of his state. We want to thank you for making us all proud. We will ever remain proud of you as classmates of ABU Zaria class 83. May God continue to be with you. We want to thank you for making us all proud. We will ever remain proud of you as classmates of ABU Zaria class 83. May God continue to be with you and guide you. I believe that the future is still very bright for you. May the grace of God con­tinue to guide you and be with you.”

He deserves that award. Buhari should give him a very good appointment. We need people like Shema regardless of their political party. No wonder he didn't campaign much for GEJ because he knows what is right. He only cares about the well being of his people.

Good one there by Shema.

As it's important and commendable not to leave behind a huge bag of liabilities for your successor, it's equally important to know how much development you brought to your state.

We need to know the following:

How many industries did you start and finish.

Provision of low cost housing for the citizens.

Improvement in the literacy level of the state.

Provision of portable water, good roads and other infrastructures all go a long way in determining your performance in office.

While the same can't be said about your GEJ!

I fail to see how GEJ even produced Shema, can you shed more light?

and my talkative governor (osho) borrowed 30billion naira to curb erosion menace (Benin city water storm project) alone yet there is very little to show for it. its not all about party its more about personality. Shema was elected under PDP while Osho APC. "Na who go thief go thief joor "

Thats a nice step, but for real he was among the unknown governors silently doing his works diligently, sure he wont want to leave the office with debts cuz he knows GMB is from that state and he might have to account for every dime borrowed and how it was spent.

Yes...with your post here is the reason why you should campaign against Rochas of Imo state, Aregbesola Osun state, Amosun of Ogun state, even over hyped Fashola of Lagos state whose state has no reason to be in so much debt etc...they are ruining the future of their states through digital looting and debts...

What a commendable feat if true. Meanwhile Aregbe and Rochas are owing Salaries of workers. Achievement is by performance and not propaganda

Unfortunately the so-called "unknown" governors are the sincere and performing ones all over the federation while the "known" ones are the liars, propagandists, looters and power mongers who shift responsibilities and invent excuses

You failed to get my point which is that it's not a problem for a state to have debt provided it has put it to developmental purposes.

For example, if state A has a debt of N5 billion naira but has many projects adding values to its citizens' life, it is better than state B with no debt and no developmental projects to benefit the people.

And it is in the name of these developmental projects that monumental fraud and looting of treasury is undertaken...hence, a fashola will claim he's embarking on development project to award a kilometer road for 1billion naira just like an oshiomole, etc...A fashola will borrow $1billion for a project that has exceeded its delivery date by years and the interest of debt and debt itself is accumulating for the state...He will take a $90million loan for primary education but pupils still sit under trees to learn while he goes round inaugurating private schools....A Rochas will borrow till he's banned by CBN to stop borrowing because his state isn't credit worthy again and he's owing salaries for 13months but neighboring state of Anambra has no debt with better infrastructure in all sectors....So what's the loan used for if not looted by them Fashola will tell you because Lagos is viable and credit worthy hence its an open cheque for them to borrow and mortgage the future of their different states...Why is an Obiano of Anambra state increasing salaries with prompt payment at same time that Rochas, Aregbesola is shifting blames to Jonathan and inventing excuses for nonpayment

And which of the your "big projects" in Lagos has been delivered with all the loans taken for them...And what's the financial capacity vis a vis infrastructural development of Lagos for which a prudent and sincere government would require the kind of debt they are in now
