That's our God-sent Governor of Kaduna State. One that has created an atmosphere of peace, unity, and cohesion amongst the different ethnic nations.

I think this is the only thing he knows how to do since Mamood Yakubu’s INEC selected him to be president. Receiving governors and condolences. He’s on his way out
