Ahmed Khalil noted that the administration that Babangida Aliyu allegedly referred to, as a waste has constructed well over 100 intra-city roads, intervened in many federal roads to ameliorate the suffering of the people, as well as embarked on school contruction.

According to him, “We are quick to remind the Chief Servant on the whereabouts of Ecological funds, Sure-P remittance for local government councils, the 7.5 per cent contributory pension deduction for local government workers and teachers and many others.

“His opinion certainly, but one thing about opinions is that it is always subjective, everyone has a standpoint, and the subjectivity of your opinion slaves to it, whether you think it negative or positive, it never should matter to anyone but you the maker of such”, said Ahmed Rufai Khalil.
