He said the state had witnessed a change in the areas of road construction, hospitals, schools, and general infrastructure development,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that about 25 political parties took part in the endorsement including APP, PCP FRESH, GDPN, ANRP, NUP AGAP, ANRP, NDLP, C4C, YDP, among others.
