The governor made the comments on Wednesday, February 10, 2016, during a thanksgiving service organized to celebrate the verdict.
“Let me thank the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, for respecting the principle of separation of power, because that is what brought us to where we are today,” he said.
