Former Governor of Katsina State, Aminu Bello Masari has said that one of the reasons why government policies cannot match campaign promises is the fund available to executive such promises.
Masari spoke today, October 9, at the 9th National Annual Conference of the Guild of Corporate Online Publishers (GOCOP), in Lagos, themed: “Reconciling Campaign Promises with Governance Realities: Challenges and Prospects.”
Masari, who is the immediate past Governor of Katsina State, described campaign promises across some African countries as mere dreams.
He ascribed failure in the implementation of campaign promises also to corruption in the system as well as unrealistic expectations of the populace.
The former said that proper implementation of campaign promises would, among others, strengthen democracy and develop hope in the citizenry.
