Some say some people are cashing under the confused state of mind of the governor to be stealing money in random, an act that has rendered the Niger state treasury empty, just like Shehu Shagari did to Nigerian treasury in the past.

How did they do it ? They cajole him into releasing huge sum of money to travel to some selected African countries including Huwaii and Saudi Arabia with their Mallams for prayers and other fetish and cultic sacrifices for the success of their anointed candidate, Alhaji Umar Nasko.
