“To a fatherly, compassionate, and decisive political leader, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, God, and history shall remember you.
“Mr. President has cast a warm blanket over me, pulling me back from the harshness of yesterday’s cold.
“A day like this is not for a long treatise. I lie, prostrate utterly humble in my heart and entire being, grateful for the mercy which Allah (SWT), through Mr. President and my country have shown me.
“During the eclipse at noon of my life, a path designed by destiny, a past with which I am fully reconciled, my family, friends and associates stood by me through thick and thin.
“Their light became my singular unfailing beacon. I remain eternally indebted to you. May Allah (SWT) recompense you.
“Throughout those moments of sober reflection, my faith in the greatness of our Fatherland never wavered, nor did my resolve to contribute to it ever weaken.
“A re-dedication to the ideals of Nigeria is upon me. My hope is renewed.
“My family and I, along with my friends and associates in Kano State and across Nigeria, are indescribably grateful to Mr. President for drafting me back into active citizenship with its unavoidable service imperative.
“May God bless us all, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
