“I have accepted to contest for the seat of Keffi/ Karu/ Kokona Federal Constituency come 2027, as leadership comes from God.
“Please continue to pray for me to succeed. I appreciate you for electing and supporting me in the race. I will do more in the area of project executions, employment, empowerment, appointments, among others,” he said
