“We give everyone equal and fair treatment and we also have a health scheme that ensures free and quality health delivery policy and it is not for only Sokoto people alone but people from any part of the country.
“We also have a lone scheme for people who are into agriculture to the tune of N4 billion and twenty percent of that loan is set aside for people who are not from Sokoto State, he said.

According to him, the key political appointments by the APC government did not represent the interest of Igbo people.
“Look at the key appointments by the APC government and you would discover that the South East was treated unfairly. President is from the North the Vice President from the West even the Senate President and Speaker House of Representatives as well as National chairman of the party , there is no Igbo man there” he said
He also recalled the relationship between Anambra state and Sokoto state which was made manifest by the relationship between Late Shehu Shagari and late Alex Ekwueme in the second Republic stressing that his administration as President would rekindle that old relationship and also run an all inclusive government.
