According to him, “I want to acknowledge the contribution of one of our own, Hajiya Mariam Katagum who represents us at the Federal Executive Council along with our brother, the Minister for Education, Malam Adamu Adamu” .
He added that, “We are in the opposition but we have no regret that we have them as our representatives. They have really brought representation to the level of competence that I am proud of” .
The Governor also said that, “I must thank Mr President for allowing them to always contribute. Bauchi state is a state of Buhari and Buhari is Bauchi state and that’s why even as a governor in the opposition I know the position of Mr President”.
