“The unfortunate development over the governorship seat in the State will never deter them (the government) in any way but will continue to pray for the right thing to be done at the Court,” he said.
Kwankwaso added that those in the helm of affairs must be reminded that justice is a panacea to progress while its absence will bring about chaos and disorder which will prevent meaningful development.
According to him, the mammoth crowd that poured out yesterday to welcome back governor Abba Kabir Yusuf is a clear indication that the people of the state, voted for him, believe in him and are strongly behind him to deliver their mandate.

He said the drama from the tribunal to the court of appeal was an embarrassment and a move to truncate democracy in Nigeria which all and sundry must work hard to prevent.
The former governor further applauded the NNPP legal team for doing a wonderful job, praying that the Supreme Court judges would be allowed to dispense justice without using the Federal might and other apparatus to intimidate them.
