Every milestone attained conveys the capital of good works done. Today, many miles away, far across many bridges, I would be turbanned as "Turaki Raya Kasar Nupe" in Bida, Niger state.

I heartily appreciate everyone for the continuous and ever growing support, not for me as a person but for good governance which I stand and work for with other Nigerians alike.

As I receive this honour with joy, I thank the Etsu, the paramount ruler of Nupe people and Bida Emirate in Niger state for this rare and thoughtful honour.

This occasion comes with more challenges than celebration; the challenge to maintain high level of good governance, the challenge to remain steadfast without preference to tribe or
religious inclination. My belief is to always put the nation first above other things. Therefore, I dedicate this day and the honour to you all, your support made it possible.

I remain yours truly, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki (CON)
