Okorocha recording stellar achievements in the north
Abubakar said in recent times, Okorocha's achievement in the north has been equal to none despite the fact that he is from the southeast.
Also Daily Independent reports that Abubakar said the former governor through his Foundation, has and will continue to touch the lives of northerners by establishing free schools in Kano, Zaria, Sokoto, Bauchi, Jos and Adamawa States.
According to him, most of these schools established by the former governor have catered to the needs of orphans, children with special needs and the less privileged members of the northern society.
Abubakar said:
‘He is a unifying figure between the north and the south due to his understanding of the cultures of the people of the north and the people of the east."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the former governor has expressed fears over the possibility of the APC party failing.
Okorocha urged the ruling party to ensure that the presidential position is not micro-zoned to any region of the country.
He said the present administration led by the APC must do all it takes to seek an out of court settlement with Nnamdi Kanu and his group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Jumbo salaries for lawmakers are not enough to cover their efforts
In other news, the former governor said that N13 million as monthly pay for lawmakers of the Red Chambers is not enough.
