The governor, while congratulating the chairmen and councillors, stated that their victory indicated the high level of the people’s  acceptance of the administration’s policies and programs.

“Indeed, this local government election  is a warning signal and a daunting task to the opposition parties. They do not stand a chance of making any impact during the 2027 elections.

“The opposition has never given excuses. We have consistently worked and distributed the dividends of democracy to every corner of the state.”

Mohammed disclosed that his administration has recorded achievements in infrastructure, security, healthcare, education and agriculture across the state.

He listed the construction and rehabilitation of roads, expansion of healthcare facilities, renovation and construction of schools, as well as agricultural interventions among the projects implemented by his administration.

The governor also urged the newly elected council chairmen to justify the confidence reposed in them by the electorate, warning them against mismanaging public funds.

He said the chairmen must understand that local government administration was no longer about sharing money but about providing effective governance and addressing the needs of the people at the grassroots.
