The statement titled: â€œCourt Judgement on Yobe North Senatorial District Candidacyâ€ reads:

â€œYesterday, Wednesday, 28th September, 2022, the Federal High Court in Damaturu delivered judgement on the rightful candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District for the 2023 National Assembly elections.

â€œThe said judgement disqualifies my candidature and therefore my participation in the elections.

â€œAfter due consultations with my political associates, supporters and well-wishers, I have decided not to appeal against the judgement. I accept the judgement.

â€œAt this juncture, I deem it appropriate to thank His Excellency, Senator Ibrahim Gaidam for the leadership role in the APC political family in Yobe State. I also thank His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni for the support and brotherhood.

â€œTo my constituents, I thank you all for your unflinching support, loyalty and unreserved committment to the course of building our people and Yobe North Senatorial District and indeed Yobe State.

â€œI want to assure you that I will continue to serve you in my personal and any other capacity at all times.

â€œWe journeyed together for a long time, and this journey will remain a life long journey. It has been a wonderful relationship and it can only get stronger. I am indebted to you all. Alhamdulillah,â€ the lawmaker stated
