In his keynote address, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, Josiah Sabo Kente, called for sustained support for Tinubu and Kefas, citing their respective development programmes.
Every second brings Nigerians closer to exercising their democratic right and shaping the future of our nation.
Exercise your democratic right responsibly, peacefully and lawfully.
Kente commended the Tinubu administration’s economic reforms, infrastructure development and efforts to strengthen national institutions, saying the Kefas administration’s interventions in education, healthcare, security, road infrastructure and agriculture.
He particularly cited the introduction of free and compulsory basic education, road construction and rehabilitation, healthcare interventions and support for farmers as reasons residents should support the governor’s second-term ambition.
