While addressing the members of NLC Sokoto Branch today, I reinstated that i am willing to implement and pay N30,000 monthly minimum wage to all civil servants in Sokoto State as soon as Federal Government signs it into law.
I have just made two appointments.
Alhaji Saidu Umar is new the Secretary to the State Government.
And Alhaji Mukhtar Magori remains the Chief of Staff.
I am sure they will put in their utmost best in serving the good people of Sokoto State.
The APC leaders in Sokoto State have formed a habit of spreading falsehood on social media platforms.
The Government of Sokoto State will soon begin to take legal action unless the politicians instigating the media propaganda and hate speech desist.
I pray & hope that what I read online yesterday is not true, that they are trying to give the Chief Justice of Nigeria the Bukola Saraki treatment.
I am appealing to president Muhammadu Buhari to steer clear of it. I believe whatever it is the CJN should be given a fair hearing.
