I lack words to express my gratitude to the Almighty Creator for this favour.
I can only call on Nigerians and indeed humanity in general to join me in thanksgiving for His benevolence'.
Idris was re-elected in April 2007, but was later nullified on the grounds that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had wrongly excluded the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) candidate Abubakar Audu from 14 April 2007 governorship poll.
On 6 February 2008, the Court of Appeal upheld this ruling and ordered a new election to be held within three months.
