He has called on the legislators to as much as possible use the opportunity avail them by the electorates to impact positively on members of their constituency as that will speak for them whenever they seek for re-election.
For those who are lagging behind, it is time for them to wake up.
The human rights activist made this call at a parley organized by the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists Kaduna Council for candidates vying for political offices across the state.
Unvalling part of the programme he has in stock for the people of Kaduna state, his administration  he promised will carry everyone along.

He promised to ensure that three of his other bills scale through.
“I was the one that sponsored a bill to amend the national human rights Act. l did that because l realized that the one we have at the moment is obsolete and not inline with the global best practices. Why did l do that? To bring the rights of the disabled and the youth.”
Before l leave the Senate l will make sure that three more of my bills are assented to.” He stated.
“We will strengthen our institutions. We will make sure that we have strong synergy, very good relationship with our legislatures because they are the ones who look into the laws so that we can  grow.
