“I will like to leave office in 2023 happier because Deltans are happier, more united and we have a stronger state.”

The governor also thanked CAN and NLC in the state for the roles they played in stabilising his administration and ensuring his victory at the polls and called for the cooperation of all stakeholders in building the state.
