“Any person or group of persons involved in looting the resources of the state must be investigated.
“I must ensure that state and local government looters return public money to the state.
“No matter their position in the society, they would be probed.”
The governor described the apex court judgement as victory and development to the state, while promising to deliver campaign promises to the people.
Barrister Tahir Shehu, PDP chairman in the state, in his reaction, urged people to join hands with the administration to move the state forward.
