He also thanked his supporters, associates and constituents for their encouragement and cooperation during his time in the party.
“I remain grateful to my supporters, associates and the good people of Ubbe Ward and Nassarawa Eggon East Constituency for their encouragement and cooperation throughout my time in the party,” he said.
