Several people have also told him and criticized him for not coming to commiserate with the people of the states. “So if he has decided in his wisdom to visit and if his schedule permits, then we shall welcome him and table our problems before him. “He has the constitutional responsibility to protect the lives and property of our people. The constitution expects him to do that and we expect that he shall give account to God for the privileged and opportunity to govern the country and to provide good governance.”
