“We are praying that the rainy season will be good for production of the food we eat in the country.
“Look at when we closed the borders for about two years, a lot of people went back to the farms and they have not regretted that decision. Now we are feeding ourselves and exporting rice.
“My advice is that people that are organising themselves and attacking institutions and communities. The people know them. So let them report them to the security agencies.
“I hope they will sit and reflect and make sure they save their names and their families,” he said.

“For more than seven years, he has been working for the good of the country. We pray that God will surround him with people that will help him,” he said.
According to the Emir, the community had always been proud of the President, knowing his penchant for fairness, justice and upholding the rule of law.
“No one can accuse him of theft or any form of corruption. We the people of Daura are behind you, Mr President. The work you have done for the community and the country, it is only God that will reward you,” he said.
