When asked if he would support the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, who is his party man, over his brother, Atiku, the Gombe governor said there is nothing like brother and party man, adding that Nigeria is one and goes beyond region.
“It doesn’t matter that Atiku is from the same region with me. They are all my brothers and Nigeria is one, we are struggling to maintain it as a united and indivisible country,” he said.
He also stated that he was in Minna to visit Abdulsalami over his recent hospitalisation in a London hospital.
“We came to wish him well and quick recovery. He is our father, an elder statesman, and a well-respected one at that, so we are here to show him that we care about him,” he stated.
