“I came here to make sure that from the end of Nigeria to other places, I want to identify with the candidate, Binani, and other candidates.

“We are here to ensure that Sen. Binani becomes the first female elected governor God willing. Her election will speak to Nigeria and the world through Adamawa State

“I thank you very much for all the support. I want everyone to support her to win. And for those in opposition to us, I wish them the best of luck.

“We will give her our moral support. The women have been fighting from a distance, let them now come close, and also share in leadership,” he said (Daily Trust)
