“Your Excellency, you have distinguished yourself not only as a senator but as a politician that as opened the new frontier of politics and politicking. Your renewed hope is being given as hope because you have set aside all the differences of politics and partisanship.
“And of course, I am aware of some challenges and threats to your life and person by someone from this state. I was so disappointed and frustrated, but you made my day as a courageous mother, you decided to come to Bauchi.
“That renegade, we will deal with him and Allah will deal with him, by the grace of God. On behalf of His Royal Highness and the people of Bauchi, we apologise for that national embarrassment, it will not happen again”, he pleaded.
