Outgoing governor of Kaduna State Mukhtar Ramalan Yero and his deputy, Amb. Nuhu Audu Bajoga have pleaded for forgiveness for any wrong committed while in office.

Yero who made the plea through his deputy at a church service to mark the handing over ceremony, asked Kaduna people to support the incoming administration under Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.

“I know we have stepped on many toes during our administration, we plead with those we have wronged to please forgive us,” said Bajoga.

He said the outgoing administration will forever be grateful for the support it received in the last two and a half years, and urged the people to support the in-coming government in order to move the state forward.

“May I emphasise that Kaduna State is our home and if we truly desire to move it forward, then we must keep aside our party differences, ethnic differences, sectional differences and religious differences.”

The deputy governor-elect, also appealed for support when they eventually take over governance on May 29.

In a related development, the outgoing governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Mukhtar Ramalan Yero and the state governor-elect, Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai at the weekend prayed together to kickstart the inauguration activities for the incoming government of Kaduna State.
