“Worried by these developments, some of you my Alfas here advised me to move out of the Government House to render their evil plots useless,’’ he said.
He however thanked all spiritual leaders in the State and admitted the advice they gave him to leave the Government House during the election so that the seen sacrifices won’t have any meaning on him, actually worked.
“It is only Allah who shamed my detractors through your prayers for me and that of the prayers I made in Saudi Arabia where I had the privilege of entering inside the Kaabah,’’ he said as he promised to take 10 of them to Saudi Arabia soon to perform the lesser Hajj with him.
