“This is in spite of the fact that we are having a serious economic crisis in our hands, which we are trying to manage.

“We came here for friendship and private discussion concerning the Nigeria Governors Forum. He is a member and we visit our members.

“When he has the opportunity, Gov. Wike will visit Kebbi and Zamfara. This is a brotherly visit,’’ a statement by Wike's Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Mr Simeon Nwakaudu, quoted Yari as saying.

He lauded his host for key projects within the Government House, “which has lifted the facility’’.

“Wike took us round to see development projects and the way he is changing the face of the Government House”, he said.
