He said the delegation was led by former Governor Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu of Bauchi state, alongside prominent personalities from within and outside the state to convey the emir’s message.
He said: “The Emir has seen the ongoing work in the area of healthcare, education, roads, erosion control where we have witnessed the reduction of houses destruction due to flooding. The Emir has been open to advice and that is the reason why we are convinced to bring the message. Our coming is not political.”
Earlier, Adamu Mu’azu, who spoke on the long-standing relationship between Gombe and Bauchi States informed the governor that the title conferred on him was in recognition of his administration’s tremendous achievements in various sectors of the economy within a span of two years in office.
