It is a conspiracy and it will<br \/>\ncollapse like other attempts before it. I will remain critical of the<br \/>\nactivities of the Federal Government, especially when they do things<br \/>\nthat are inimical to the welfare of Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Imagine the questions they asked my Commissioner for Finance, they<br \/>\nasked him if the Federal Government has reimbursed the state<br \/>\ngovernment on works done on federal roads. But the records are with<br \/>\nthem in Abuja, can&#8217;t they check?\u00fd We have nothing to\u00fd hide and they<br \/>\nare only chasing shadows and are time wasters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Telling the Federal Government that the economy is in trouble and<br \/>\nthat the President should stay at home to face governance is not a<br \/>\ncrime and is part of my rights\u00fd as a citizen of this country. I am<br \/>\nlike a tree planted by the bank of a river that brings forth its<br \/>\nfruits in due season,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Answering question on the allegation that some people offered some<br \/>\nlawmakers $1 million to impeach him, the governor expressed implicit<br \/>\nconfidence in the lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am just coming from Abuja and I know that our \u00fdlawmakers are solid<br \/>\nguys and their future and mine are tied together. When the APC was at<br \/>\nits peak in the state and they wanted to use 19 lawmakers to impeach<br \/>\nme, they failed woefully and they will still fail again.\u00a0 This is a<br \/>\nstorm in a tea cup. They are not just starting I defeated them in all<br \/>\ncourts in the land.\u00a0 I won&#8217;t deter from saying the truth about the FG.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in the morning we have not seen what the night is going to be.<br \/>\n\u00fdIf it is me that brought myself here they will succeed, but if it is<br \/>\nGod, they will have to first overcome God before overcoming me,&#8221;
