Saidu further cautioned politicians against some persons who disguised as representatives of northerners in the south and pledge northern support for them, adding that they are fraudsters.

His words partly read:

”Wike is a very strong-willed person. I want the Wike issue to be settled peacefully. I also appeal to Wike to settle with his brother Alhaji Atiku. Forgiveness is one of the beauties of life. We thank Wike for the roads he has done for us.“
