According to senator Okorocha, “most of President Buhari’s aides have failed the nation and are no longer useful in the national assignments.

Speaking, Governor Abdullahi Sule thanked Okorocha for the visit and revealed that the kingpin of the killer of the APC Chairman, Philip Shekwo Tatari, Muhammed Usman has been arrested.
According to Sule who described late Philip Shekwo as a man of peace, said the way and manner the chairman died was not only painful but a loss the state will not overcome in a hurry, adding that Shekwo didn’t deserve to die that way.
His words: “The suspected team. The leader of the Shekwo killer has confessed that he and his gang carried out the killing of the APC chairman, so we get him arrested.

“But for whatever reasons, the chairman does not deserve to die in such a manner.
“We are going to await police full investigation into the killing of the APC chairman.”
