He accused the leadership of APC in the state of lacking ideas and had been sidelining them and their supporters from the party’s affairs.

Suleiman urged the people of the state to team up with Governor Darius Ishaku to enable him to deliver on his campaign promises.

“I call on the people of the state to support the rescue mission of Gov Ishaku to enable him succeed in the interest of the state,” he said.
