He expressed gratitude to the Southern Zone for the overwhelming support he received during the 2023 elections and called on them to replicate the support in the forthcoming local government elections.

He announced the approval of funds for the provision of electricity, alongside ongoing efforts to ensure potable water supply and a durable road network, and also reassured the people of his commitment to running an all-inclusive government.

He emphasized that individuals who contested various positions and were unsuccessful would not be left out, as his administration is determined to involve everyone in governance and urged the people of Plateau South to rally behind the PDP in the coming local government elections to usher in a new era of tangible democratic dividends for the district.

The PDP Zonal Vice Chairman, North Central Zone, Dakas Shan, expressed confidence that Plateau South remains a stronghold of the PDP, predicting a sweeping victory in both the Chairmanship and Councilorship seats across the 17 local government areas.

Also, the State PDP Chairman, Chris Hassan; Secretary to the Government of the State, Mr. Samuel Jatau; Senator Napoleon Bali; Mr. Hamisu Anani, PDP candidate for Wase Local Government Area; Chairman of the PDP Elders Forum, Mr. Raymond Dabo; and the PDP Zonal Chairman, Plateau South, Mr. Simon Domle, all extended their appreciation to the people for their unwavering support and reiterated that the PDP is committed to transforming lives and improving living conditions across the state.
