Also speaking, Governor Abdulrazaq who praised Senator Sadiq for empowering his constituents expressed delight about the attendance of the two gladiators at the event.
“More importantly is that our gladiators are here today. Those who think we will go into battle divided and take advantage of it will be disappointed”.

Senator Sadiq who also expressed delight that his “N50 million worth of empowerment programme” had turned out to be a forum to further unite members of the party described it as “a bad day for opposition who thought we will go into election divided.”
