- * Says Gov Sule Deserves Second Term
By David Odama (In Lafia, Nasarawa State)
A frontline politician and a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Hon Rayyanu Iliyasu, has advised opposition political parties in Nasarawa not to waste their resources to contest the governorship election in the state.
He threw his weight behind Governor Abdullahi Sule’s second term bid, saying the governor has exceeded all expectations in his first three years in office.
Speaking while interacting with Journalists in Lafia, the former campaign Director General of Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, said Sule has proven his competence, capability and resilience within the three years of his administration that he is ready and determined to leave the state better than ever before.
According to the Talba Babba of Lafia, Gov Sule has brought high level of honesty and integrity into governance, through prudent management of the merger resources that accruing to the state from the Federation Account.
“We have seen the massive infrastructural development across the urban and rural areas of the state. Lafia is now one of the fastest growing state capital in the country from it’s earlier status of a glorified local government area".
“In the area of healthcare delivery, the medical outreach programme initiated by this administration targeting rural and hard-to-reach areas, has greatly reduced maternal and infant mortality rate as well as curbing infectious diseases spread among rural folks.
“His achievements in education, agriculture, security amongst others, have been tremendous.”
He said the governor deserves commendation for the number of agro-allied industries that are springing up across the state, noting that without providing the enabling environment and luring investors to take advantage of the many potentials that are abound in the state, such feat wouldn’t have been possible.
He therefore called for support for governor Sule in 2023 to enable him midwife the development of the state and the empowerment drive for the indigenes and residents in Nasarawa State. NNL.
