He disclosed that he had instructed his lawyers to take legal action against those attempting to tarnish his reputation with corruption allegations.
He said,
“I did not join politics to steal money or enrich myself. I was satisfied with what I had before becoming governor.
“I have always prayed for guidance in all I do, and I strive not to betray the trust of the people.
“Whenever the former governors of Kaduna State and other leaders are ready to swear with the Quran that they never misappropriated public funds, I will join them. I have no fear because I know I never took money that belonged to the people.
“I have left everything to God’s judgment. I have prayed and will remain silent on the issue. I have instructed my lawyers to take legal action against those tarnishing my name, but for now, I’m focused on my activities like reading and writing,” he said. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
