You don’t deserve second term, Niger gov told

The abysmal performance of the All Progressives Congress (APC)- led administration of Governor Abubakar Sani Bello “does not justify the rush for second term by the governor,” Senator David Umaru, has said.
The senator, who represents Niger East Senatorial District, stated this yesterday in an interview in Minna.
He said: “The APC administration in Niger state has performed terribly bad to the extent that we should not be talking about second term.
There is virtually nothing on ground to justify second term for the administration.
Today I feel ashamed for working to enthrone the administration with the highest level of un-seriousness”.
He decried the use of ethnicity and religion to cause confusion in the state political landscape “in the face of serious underdevelopment,” adding, however, that “we should all come back in a united force and rescue the state in 2019.
” Umaru carpeted the party and the administration for embarking on “unrealistic endorsement of some elected persons, including the governor,” adding that “the party can give ticket but the people will do the voting in 2019.
” “I do not need the endorsement of the governor; he needs my endorsement.
I need the endorsement of the people, and not that of the governor.
“Contesting in 2019 should not be my priority now.
As you know, I do not have any posters out.
I believe it is not how long I stay in office, but what I have been able to do for the people.
