his efforts in ensuring PDP remains strong in the region and the entire
country.

leadership he has provided for the PDP in the North Central region and entire
Northern Nigeria which has metamorphosed into a vibrant leadership at the
national level of the party.

of the country. Now is the time for the region to produce the leadership of the
nation”, he stated
