Sambo promises govs-elect FG’s cooperation

VICE President Namadi Sambo has pledged Federal Government’s cooperation with state governors-elect to enable them to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.

He also reassured the international community of government’s commitment to partner with them to propel Nigeria to greater heights.

Sambo stated these on Friday at the closing ceremony of the induction/symposium organised by the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) for returning and newly-elected governors, which took place at the Banquet Hall, State House, Abuja.

He counseled them to ensure that they abided by the oath of their office in order to justify the confidence the electorate had in them.

According o him, the delivery of free and credible elections by the present administration was in fulfillment of its earlier promise to positively transform Nigeria and “the first step towards our collective desire to deliver on all our promises.”

He said: “As we get ready to be sworn-in on May 29, we must not forget our oath of office and allegiance and must strive to abide by it,” noting that “as elected representatives, we are for all and we must work for all.”

Vice President Sambo, while reiterating President Goodluck Jonathan’s commitment to transforming the socio-economic status of Nigerians and putting the country on the highest pedestal in the international community, said the administration had already put in motion measures to improve power supply and revitalise comatose infrastructure.
