Ahmed Aliyu, the Governor of Sokoto State says he inherited an empty treasury and no single note was handed over to him by his predecessor, former Governor Aminu Tambuwal of the People Democratic Party.
Aliyu disclosed this on Thursday during a courtesy visit by the Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.
Aliyu, who spoke through his deputy, Engineer Idris Gobir, said the government had achieved some strides in the state in the last 100 days despite harse economic realities.
“We made sacrifice to change the narrative of the state and we have succeeded in changing it within the last 100 days,” he said.
Aliyu, however, hailed the leadership of the green chamber who sent a powerful delegation to condole the government and people of the state over the demise of their colleague and member, representing Isa-Sabon Birni Federal Constituency, Jelani Danbuga.
Earlier, Kanu commended the pace of projects execution in the state.
