He said he will continue to lead Kogi State with the fear of Allah, admonishing the people to fear Allah and avoid anti-social practices that could jeopardize the “peace and well-being of the society”.
“I urge all Kogites and Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of Prophet Muhammad by promoting peace and stability in the society. In a time like this, leaders must eschew selfishness and contribute to the well-being of the people.
“All Moslems must strive to promote peace across the world, for that was the ideal Prophet Muhammad lived for”.
