The governor emphasized the need to provide accurate information for clarity.
He described the acceptance of President Bola Tinubu’s intervention and the resulting agreement as a political resolution.
He said: “Let me say it here for record purposes. What is happening here in our dear state is somebody who has respect for an elder.
“Mr. President invited all the parties to Abuja and came out with a resolution that we should go and implement.
“That resolution, I am implementing it. It is not a constitutional implementation. It is a political solution to a problem.
“I am doing it because of the respect I have for Mr. President. But, let me say here, if that action that I have accepted to take would be seen as a weakness, I will surprise them. I want this message to go to them,” he added.
