The immediate past Comptroller General of Immigration, Mohammed Babandede, has expressed worry that the nation’s political system is characterized by unnecessary spending, especially during elections.
He made the remark at the weekend when he visited Jigawa State Governor Mohammed Badaru Abubakar.

He said, “My greatest anger with our political system is wasteful spending. Many people in our land believe that politics is about giving out money. So I must thank you for tightening the expenditure in Jigawa.
“We no longer hear of such wasteful spending in Jigawa again. To deal with my governor, you must be able to calculate properly. That is sanity. He brought sanity into public spending.”
He said he won’t be joining politics now but rest and decide on which path to take after retirement.
In his remarks, Governor Badaru described Babandede as a worthy son and ambassador of the state who served the country meritoriously and brought honour and respect to the Immigration Service.
