He has vowed not to rest on his oars until his last day in office.
“The only way we can show gratitude to the people for the confidence reposed in us by the people is to continue to serve them with all our heart and might. I will continue to commission projects until the last day. We can’t stop. We were elected to serve the people. We will continue to offer quality services to our people. Even our worst critics will agree that we have delivered excellently on our campaign promises. By God’s grace we will finish strong and our incoming governor, Siminalayi Fubara will continue in our legacy of quality service to our people.”
