president-elect to execute meaningful development for Nigerians.

“We believe in Tinubu, we are confident of his capacity to build Nigeria.

“The APC as a party has blueprints to build Nigeria.”

“I am using this medium to call on people of the state to continue to support the government at all levels and security agencies toward addressing security challenges.
