“The decision of Boni Haruna to step down for the interest of the party in the state at large is commendable.

“For Justice,fairness and Equity in Adamawa Northern zone, the Michika/Madagali axis can’t have the Governor and also occupied the office of the senator of the same zone while the Mubi north, mubi south,and Maiha axis are the majority. His candidature may weaken the party in M3 zone.
