“It is no longer a story the situation our country found itself under APC, take for example with the state we are today, Kaduna State was one of the most peaceful states, people travel freely, no leader in the north will say that he does not have a house in Kaduna State, people can leave Abuja 10pm and come to Kaduna when I was a minister I come by road, but today what is happening, Kaduna has lost its glory and it is because of the inefficiency of those in the government”.
