Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has urged governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to deliver their promises to Nigerians.

Osinbajo said this in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi state, on Tuesday at the conclusion of a Federal Government- Progressives Governors’ Forum parley.

He said depite numerous challenges, the APC-led Federal Government will deliver its promises to Nigerians.

He said “the ideological difference that we represent is that we are committed to an economic policy that has at its core the welfare and happiness of Nigerians’’.

He added that “the people have not lost faith in us, they understand that the task of clearing decades of debris will take time but we must also jointly keep faith with them.

“The people expect us to deliver on all of what we have promised. They expect a better life, we have assured them of a better life, and I can say for all of us who are present here, all of us in the progressive forum, that we will deliver a better life to the people of Nigeria.’’

He called for a stronger collaboration between the Federal and States governments.

According to him, “just as the FG is committed and has taken visible steps in meeting its obligations and make refunds on debts owed to states, it’s imperative for states to play its own parts. There are two obvious elements here.’’

Prof. Osinbajo further explained that “when the Federal Government provides relief resources, the resources are used for the agreed purposes. The second is to implement agreements that have been reached in specific sectoral contexts. For instance, states must continue to work toward implementing their parts of the fiscal sustainability plan in order to improve their individual fiscal situations which impacts on the national fiscal picture.’’
