The call was included in a statement released on Saturday to PUNCH Online by Aliyu Yusuf, Director of Public Enlightenment at Government House Kano.
Yusuf claims that the governor said this when briefing reporters on Friday at the Supreme Court’s Abuja headquarters, just after the ruling confirming his election as the state’s legitimate governor was delivered.
