According to him, leadership is about understanding the people being governed, with a view to protecting their lives and property, irrespective of their religious or ethnic background.

Emir of Dutse, Sunusi, thanked the governor for transforming the state in the past seven years of his administration.

He said that both indigenes and non-indigenes had been living peacefully in the state, promising that efforts would be made to sustain the status-quo.
