He added it was a testimony of the Sokoto people’s faith in his ability to move the state forward.

“I want to appreciate Mr President Bola Tinubu and his Vice Senator Kashim Shettima for ensuring that justice is delivered accordingly, without any interference,” he stated.
“Thank you to the judges for ensuring that justice is delivered. I also appreciate my legal team. I also want to use the opportunity to appreciate my father, my mentor and political leader, Senator Aliyu Wamakko, for his belief in me.”
