“He’s a son we are proud of in the North. He’s of course the adopted son of our leader and father, Sir Ahmadu Bello. He is going to be given all due love of a son of the soil because he is the adopted son of our father ” Sultan said.
Reinforcing this when he took over the podium, Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai said the North does not do anything without reason or half measured. “The choice of the Guest Speaker of today, my brother, the Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, is not by accident. We don’t do anything by accident in Arewa. And I am sure you will soon know his choice is not by accident. There is a reason and I am sure that reason will get clearer as time goes on” he said.
