Recall that the former commissioner, was in his constituency, during the recent Eid -El-Kabir Sallah celebration, where he doled out unspecified sums of money (cash) to the people regardless of their political parties and urged them to put party politics behind them, especially now that the elections were over and joined hands with the Governor Umaru Bago led- administration in the state to build a new Niger State.
