Govern the old Borno State on the GNPP platform

Broken

The promise

To deliver rural development, education, water and agriculture across the old Borno State (present-day Borno and Yobe) as governor for the Great Nigeria People's Party, the party of Borno's Waziri Ibrahim.

Assessment

Goni's administration pursued schooling, water and farm-support programmes in an arid, sparsely served region. A quantified, sourced account of delivery over 1979–1983 is not available in the summary record.

Governance

Win a second term

Broken

The promise

Implicit in seeking re-election in 1983.

Assessment

After falling out with GNPP leader Waziri Ibrahim, Goni defected to the NPP and lost the 1983 Borno governorship. Whatever the result, all elected officials were removed months later by the December 1983 coup.
