“We are now coming closer to the 2023 general elections but for me, it’s not important, I’m not interested in any position. I never planned to be the governor of Borno State and I’m not willing to aspire for any higher position but as a Muslim, you should always pray for the best,” he said.
“We have to look into the possibility of selecting good leaders, whether we like it or not. How? that remains the very big question; whether in PDP, whether in APC, I think we need to see how we can get good leaders,” he added.
