“I am here because I want to help a friend, a schoolmate whom we attended the same university, I am here to help the party to win the 2023 elections”. He added.
The special adviser to the governor on Afforestation, Honorable Bala Sule Kila also joined the opposition PDP, a letter addressed to the governor of the state, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru Abubakar through the secretary to the state government informed his resignation of his appointment from the position of special adviser.
