Another thing is that the amount used in building that government house is very ridiculous and so we put it as a matter for consideration. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I cannot go into that house until those issues are settled by Plateau people. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Thirdly, the priority of the incoming government is how to settle the plight of the civil servants. Civil servants were wallowing in lack of payment of salaries and then all of a sudden I was told that an amount of close to ₦15billion was used to construct a new government house, we are not coming for luxury, we are coming to serve the people so first of all when you are serving you must be ready to make sacrifice not luxury of a new government house. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It is not a priority to me, we will stay anywhere, and we will review the contract and make recommendations as to whether we will occupy the new government house or not. But I want to assure you that it will not be a waste, even if we don’t occupy it we will put it to use.</div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b>=============================================================</b></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b><span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-size: large;">PLACE YOUR TEXT ADVERTS HERE </span>=============================================================</b><br /> <b>Need Dubai visas (2 weeks or 3 months)?
