He said severally he came close to throwing in the trowel but the Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed encouraged him to hang on.
The immediate sports minister spoke in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital at a reception organized for him to welcome him back home.
He added that he was not surprised by his sack, saying as “a political appointee you expect that you can be relieved of your post anytime.”
Said he: “Several times I came close to walking away but you always encouraged me to hang on there. I thank you very much and I pray that almighty Allah will continue to guide you, abide by you and he never bring you down. You are my brother and my friend, but I’m not thanking you only for this day. I am thanking you for standing by me throughout very difficult periods...
“I want to thank all the people of Kwara state for of love. I don’t think I know one percent of people that came out to welcome me today. I don’t think I have in any way done anything for one percent of them. What I can say is that what we are celebrating today, that is what God has made possible for me to do in the last three years that you have sent me to Abuja as a minister, I dedicate to all the youths of Kwara state. We, who were born towards the end and after the end of the Nigerian civil war, are the generation that are mostly here today. That is the generation that I belong and what we have done in the last three years has shown that our generation given the opportunity is capable of achieving great things,” Abudulahi said.
CAN YOU ROCK THIS? LADIES?
