He said: “The SSG will, from now, oversee the state up to midnight of May 28 for the final exit of the present administration. I enjoin members of the state Exco to co-operate with the SSG who is now the Acting governor of Jigawa State”.
He immediately travelled to Saudi Arabia for lesser Hajj (Umra) and declared he would not return until after the inauguration of the APC administration.
