He advised against allowing political considerations to influence their responsibilities, urging them to eschew hypocrisy and gossip in the discharge of their duties.
“Politics should not be a yardstick for carrying out your duties. You should be free and do away with hypocrisy and gossiping; if you accurately discharge your duties, the sky will be your limit in life,” concluded Governor Yusuf.
