The lawmaker who is in the last year of his second tenure and a close ally to Governor Kashim Shettima and his Deputy, Usman Mamman Dukwa said, he is the only aspirant/candidate to beat having pressurized government which has brought people oriented projects to his constituency, adding that, his achievements always speak for him.
He said under his purposeful representation and the cordial relationship that exists between him and the governor, he was able to convince the government of the day to embark on the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Biu- YimirshikaShaffa- Garkida federal road, which has been in deplorable condition but neglected since 1979.

The project, he said, was being handled by the state government and the work has now reached 97% completion.
He further stated that the complete construction of Mega Boarding Secondary and Primary School, Azare, in addition to complete renovation and reconstruction of classroom blocks at Government Secondary Schools in Shaffa, Marama, Kwajjafa and General Hospital, Marama were all executed by his pressure on government.

Dismissing such allegations, he said:”I want to tell you that in APC, we have a constitution, and we don’t go against our laid down rules and regulations of the party
