“Among these palaces, there are some which he completely remodelled from what they used to be to modern structures. Next was the Jummaat mosque which is just across the road of the Palace. Whoever sees this, will agree with me that it is a modern structure. He made it to look like a mosque in Abuja or any other city.”

“Though we have notified the Darazo LGA, yet we need urgent intervention and I am calling on Mansur Manu Soro to come in again to facilitate the fixing. The inner Chambers of the palace needs a little fixing while the back fence needs attention too,” he stressed further.
Suleiman Abdulkadir assured that the traditional institutions will remain loyal and supportive of the government in ensuring that it achieved its set objectives of peace and peaceful coexistence among the people.
