Current Affairs

On the 22nd of March this year, when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced us winners in the bruising and long-drawn-out Abia gubernational elections, our first task was to head to church to give thanks to the Almighty God and to hand over the state to Him, knowing that anything left in His hands remains secure. He is the author and finisher, the foundation of all successful endeavours of mankind. Just like the Christain community did a few days ago, I use this solemn and formal occasion to rededicate Abia State to God Almighty.

I stand here again, as I did, in 2019, to promise you that since the God we serve as a people, did not fail us, I will also not fail you. I will continue to serve you in absolute humility and devotion to your needs and expectations and will continue to appropriate your resources to improve your living condition, and in the same way, secure the future for our children so that, they too, can be as productive and fulfilled in their aspirations as their counterparts anywhere in the world.

My sincere appreciation also goes to all of you, the good people of Kwara State, who have entrusted me with the mandate to lead our state for another four years. I thank all the stakeholders and institutions for your support. The successes we have recorded over the last four years were due to your support and kind considerations. I want us to do that all over again for the benefit of our state as we begin another journey today.

In the name of Allah, the beneficent and the merciful. I stand here in great humility, with a deep sense of responsibility and a heart full of gratitude and appreciation before you all, the good people of Nasarawa State and our well-wishers on this occasion of my swearing-in and inauguration for a second term in office as Executive Governor. This ceremony compels me to uphold the Constitution and pay allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the discharge of my statutory responsibilities.

Today, Monday the 29th day of May, 2023 is an unforgettable day in the history of our dear state. Today is a confirmation that the will of the good people of Kano State has prevailed. Today, my fellow Kano people, is your day! The day your Governor that you voted for with over a million votes is sworn into office. Alhamdulillah.
