\u00a0
\u201cI expect that anybody that is going to take over from me must be somebody who can do 200% better than I have done.
\u00a0
\u201cI am not planning to install anybody anyway but whoever it is I expect that person must brace up and be ready to take up a very serious challenge,\u201d Abubakar said.
\u00a0
The amiable Abubakar says his tenure witnessed numerous achievements chief of which is instilling of a level of peace amongst warring factions in different chapters across the country.
\u00a0
\u201cIt is his hope that such a calm atmosphere would help the incoming executives achieve the common goal of moving the association and its members to a higher pedestal.
\u00a0
\u201cThe peaceful atmosphere that we\u2019ve had during our time is one thing I can be proud of.
\u00a0
\u201cThat atmosphere that we have been able to create we hope our successors would come and build on.
\u00a0
\u201cIt is a very good platform which we didn\u2019t meet and we had to start from the scratch but now we are bequeathing a very conducive atmosphere and environment for our members and the incoming exco also to operate in.\u201d
