According to him, ''I made it clear in one of my interviews that the case in court was a fallout of the’ civil war’ within my party, the PDP ahead of the 2015 presidential polls and that the Buhari administration had no hand in it.''
''But if Garba Shehu is drawing a conclusion on a case that is yet to be decided, I leave Nigerians to judge between Garba Shehu, his paymasters and Sule Lamido, who is intellectually bankrupt.
''And talking about morals, if he indeed Garba Shehu knows what is called morality, should he still be hanging around the Buhari administration? He is only exhibiting brazen desperation to win Buhari’s loyalty at all cost.

''I leave the court to decide on the matter before it as I won’t want to say anything further on that.
''But suffice it to say that even in the matter, no where was I accused of stealing Jigawa ‘s money. But like I said, I have implicit faith in the judiciary to deliver justice.
''The presidency’s reaction is a clear sign that it is suffering from ignorance of leadership. The former Jigawa State governor, who has since indicated his interest in 2019 presidency further.''
