“I write to reaffirm that I remain committed to the mandate which I won at the primaries, and I have not in any form or manner communicated otherwise.

“I have been informed of a purported malicious and mischievous report an insinuation to the contrary. 

“Please note that I never at any time signed or communicated in any form any intent to vacate the mandate which was won at the primaries. 

“I am totally committed to my mandate and am working to deliver Yobe North Senatorial District to our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).”

Recall, that the Senate President contested the APC presidential ticket and lost. 

He had been representing Yobe North Senatorial District at the National Assembly for 15 years.
