He stated, “I am the elected deputy governor of this state, and the court has reaffirmed it. I will be deputy governor until November 11, even though the governor has not paid me for the last year.”
Emphasizing his commitment to the rule of law, Shaibu said, “I am a law-abiding citizen and will go to the office this morning. If they want to stop me, they should. I will not do anything that would lead to the loss of life. I have been maintaining peace; the office of the deputy governor must be given its rightful respect.”
He added, “I will resume in the office and face my work. If the governor allows me to see him, I will, and if not, I will still face my work.”
