Dr. Sulaiman Gidado I have seen reactions to the calls for Adamu Atiku Abubakar to contest for the southern senatorial seat.

Woe believe that, regardless of a political party, Muhammad Mayas, APC deputy publicity secretary, should take urgent mental test and evaluation to properly assess the administration of Gov.
