“We are delighted to once again host you in our Secretariat, this time, on a solidarity mission with Air Marshall Sadique Abubakar, Rtd, our, gubernatorial candidate in the recently held election in Bauchi state.

“Reports at our disposal indicate that the good people of Bauchi willfully elected the Air Marshall Sadique in a free and fair election, but, which was manipulated by the opposition

“We call on the election tribunal to restore the stolen mandate to our candidate by unanimously declaring Air Marshall Sadique, Rtd, as the duly elected governor of Bauchi State.”
