"Am not surprised to see him in this position, because of his vision, mission and zeal to move this country forward by bringing new projects and injecting new ideas to uplift the standard of our dear country."
"I am proud of him, and I will continue to work with him, support him, advise him and pray for him to succeed."
"Our country is in critical condition, therefore we must work together to salvage our dear nation, I will make sure we work together with Senator Barau,and bring well-meaning politicians that would help him rebuild Nigeria."
Earlier the Convener of the coalition Musa Mujahid Zaitawa said they were sent by Deputy Senate President Barau Jibril, to notify the Former Speaker his decision to work with him as elder and veteran politician who is among the remaining contemporaries of late Abubukar Rimi.
"Deputy Senate President Barau Jibril wants you to join APC and revive the golden days of Santsi political camp of late Abubakar Rimi, we believe you are the only one that can bring back the Santsi ideologies, and put Senator Barau in the best position to be the true successor of Late Abubakar Rimi."
Zaitawa informed the Former Speaker how the coalition secured northwest votes for APC and Tinubu during 2023 general elections, and how they supported Senator Barau to become Deputy Senate President and Tajuddeen Abbas as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
