He said it’s in his nature to support the less privileged in the society as some of the Youth are into so many criminal behaviors unwillingly, he blamed poverty and other societal ills as a result of idleness are the main reasons for such a rascal behavior.

Ishaku in an interview , revealed his plan to empower the Youths in his constituency with self-reliance businesses.
“That young man was not deliberate to have attempted attacking me with his dane gun, idleness and poverty are eating deep into the fabric mental being of the youth in our society, it is harshly biting hard on them and I must try my best to take them out of that mess.
