“I intend to return to politics in 2027 after completing my studies. There is no retirement in politics. By the will of Allah, we will return and continue serving the people.

The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, emphasized that his administration has faced accusations of financial misappropriation without any solid evidence.
He also pointed out that his associates are being targeted by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He mentioned that he has directed his lawyers to initiate legal action against those damaging his reputation.
“I have left everything to Allah’s judgment. I have prayed and will remain silent on the issue,” he said.
“You don’t need to hold a position in government to serve. We are still working with like-minded individuals who genuinely want to serve the people, not those seeking to enrich themselves,” he added.
