In his address, the governor called on security agencies to continue to commit themselves in the tribe of one Nigerian, in Kano and all other states in the country.
Daily Trust reported that he called on the security agencies in the state to desist from partisanship, adding that such would do no good for the state and Nigeria at large, and he was speaking as a Nigerian and chief security officer of the state.
He further condemned the action of the state police command for the withdrawal of the force from the parade, describing the development as an "unethical and partisan attitude of the current Commissioner of Police in Kano State.”
