Sagagi expressed his readiness to accept whatever fate life had in store for him. “I am ready to accept any fate that comes my way in life,” he said.
He thanked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for the opportunity to serve in his administration since the beginning of his tenure. Despite his removal, Sagagi emphasized his continued loyalty to Governor Abba and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
“I am still a full member of the NNPP and a loyal supporter of Governor Abba,” Sagagi affirmed, stressing that his relationship with the governor remained strong. He also reaffirmed his commitment to the Kwankwasiyya system, reflecting on the valuable lessons he had learned during his time in the administration.
Sagagi dismissed rumors suggesting that people had been used to orchestrate his removal from office, saying, “We have a good relationship, and I reject claims that people were used to remove me.”
Addressing those who had criticized him, Sagagi warned, “Anyone who speaks ill of me will face divine punishment.” He urged critics to be mindful of their words.
Sagagi further highlighted the strong bond between him, the governor, and their supporters, dismissing any claims of discord. “Even a mad man knows the governor loves us and we love him,” Sagagi added.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf recently carried out a reshuffle of his executive council, removing several members, including the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, and introducing new commissioners.
However, Sagagi clarified that those who were removed did not commit any crimes. “The time God appointed them to lead the state had come to an end,” he concluded.
