The Governor of Katsina State, Aminu Masari has disclosed that his predecessor, Ibrahim Shema, operated over 100 bank accounts.
Masari was speaking when he had an interactive session with the Katsina indigenes living in Abuja at Shehu Yar’Adua Conference Centre, Abuja.
He further claimed that he met only N7.9 million in the government’s salary account.
“We inherited N7.9 million only in the salary account in May, 2015; the previous administration operated more than 100 savings accounts in various banks.
“Now, we have serious problem in Katsina State. Federal allocations of most of our local government areas are not sufficient for them to even pay salaries.
“Even the state government in many cases has to wait for interventions like bailout and budgetary support from the federal government to execute some projects.”
