“We accept this privilege, with heavy responsibility; we shall carry out the people’s democratic directives, with focus and unrelenting dedication, we shall govern for all for peace and prosperity of the state,” the governor-elect declared.
Similarly, he expressed his indebtedness to traditional, institutions and religious leaders, who ensured an atmosphere of peace, while appreciating the efforts of NNPP leaders at all levels for their tireless efforts and commitment.
