“I have accepted  to contest for the seat of Keffi/ Karu/ Kokona Federal Constituency come 2027, as leadership comes from God.

“Please continue to pray for me to succeed. I appreciate you for electing and supporting me in the race. I will do more  in the area of project executions, employment, empowerment, appointments, among others,” he said

Mr Jatau also appreciated the people for living in unity and peace with one another, irrespective of their different affiliations.
