The governor expressed optimism that the country will surmount its challenges, stressing the need for Nigerians to work together in rebuilding the country and enable it to reach greater heights..
He lauded the monarch for visiting the state saying “such could not have come at a better time than now when the country needs peaceful co-existence among its people.”

He described Sokoto state as peaceful, urging other Nigerians to take time and visit the state in view of the existing peace.
