A former military administrator of Lagos and Borno State, Brig.-Gen. Buba Marwa, on Tuesday promised to replicate his achievements in the two states if elected the governor of Adamawa State in the forthcoming election.

He said the recently sacked governor of the state, Murtala Nyako, left the state in a comatose and it needed a man of his status to resuscitate it.

Marwa spoke with State House correspondents shortly after a closed-door meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.


The governorship aspirant who recently returned to the Peoples Democratic Party said the issue of waiver for him to contest on the party’s platform was a concluded business because PDP is looking for good men like him who will win elections.

He said,

“Adamawa State is in a comatose after Nyako’s administration.
“It is half-dead and it needs a Marwa to resuscitate it and bring it back to where it belongs.
“Free education, free healthcare, infrastructure, the roads that I did in Lagos like 700, we will double it in Adamawa if not more, by the grace of God.
“In terms of water supply, the most difficult area in the country is Borno State. I was governor there and I did over 1,000 boreholes and wells there. Agriculture, fishery jobs for the youth. We will work for the PDP and the people.”

On security situation in the state, the retired military officer said it is his job and he would handle it properly.
