Following the victory of Abdullahi Sule at the Supreme Court on Friday as the duly elected governor of Nasarawa, his political party, the All Progressives Congress has held a grand reception in Lafia to welcome him back to the state.
Speaking at Government House, Lafia, at the weekend, Governor Sule promised the people of Nasarawa State more developmental projects, stressing that his administration is ready to commission already completed projects in the coming weeks.
The governor assured that in the coming days, his government will commission projects already completed such as the newly dualized Government House along Shendam Road, the new state secretariat, a liquefied natural gas production plant in Lafia, as well as the groundbreaking for the construction of the Lafia bye-pass that will run from Shabu-Akurba-Akunza.
According to him, “My dream is to leave Nasarawa State better than I met it. And my dream is to see that Lafia as a state capital can compete with others in the country.
“I didn’t make any preparations for losing at the courts because in my mind and in my prayers I asked God not to lead us to have arrested development in Nasarawa State,” he stated.
He said Nasarawa State has great prospects and that his administration would work to utilize the potentials that abound in the state to the benefit of the people
Governor Sule warned that the would not afford to allow the ambition of some individuals to throw the state into anarchy, stressing that the security agencies are on red alert to deal with any situation that could threaten the existing relative peace in the state.
