The immediate past Governor of Jigawa State , Alhaji Sule Lamido, returned to the country on Monday  from his foreign trip, adding  that he will not shun the invitation of the Economic And Financial Crime Commission.

Lamido who was speaking with journalists in his Bamaina village in Birninkudu Local Government area of the state, explained that EFCC was anti graft agency of the government, recognised by law, therefore, he would not shun the invitation. “I am aware of the invitation,” he added.

The EFCC will expect Lamido to show up in its office on Thursday.  However, said he would not join issues with the incumbent governor on the debt he left before leaving office. It would be recalled that there was a conflicting figure on the debt inherited by APC-led government in the state. The former governor said that while leaving office, he held a special council meeting, where he briefed the press on the liabilities he left.
