OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Following a meeting with His Excellency, Farmer Governor, Umar Mohammed Bago, I wish to inform the good people of Kontagora I Constituency that the Governor passionately appealed to me to step down from my bid for re-election.
After careful reflection and consultations, and considering the peace, unity, and progress of our party and constituency, I have decided to honour and respect his request.
This decision is not out of weakness, fear or lack of capacity, but out of political maturity, loyalty, respect for leadership, and commitment to the unity of our great party.
I sincerely thank all my supporters, party elders, stakeholders, youths, women, and everyone who stood with us throughout this journey. I urge all our supporters to remain calm, peaceful, united, and committed to the progress of our constituency and party.
By the grace of Almighty Allah, our political journey continues and the future remains bright.
Thank you all.
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
