The Prime Prince said: “Whoever was born into the royal family and live in it, reach the position of Permanent Secretary and appointed as Prime Prince, one needs to thank God and the Emir of Gwandu and his Council Members.”

He said as a youth he would justify the confidence reposed in their leadership not only in Kebbi State but the Country at large by ensuring that all the responsibilities enshrined in his office were carried out to the later.

I will borrow the leaf of my boss in discharging my duties for societal growth,” the Prime Prince remarked
