In his words, “Today, we are at a point where history is made. It is made because of you. It is made because you reaffirmed your willingness to support the good works we have started in Adamawa State. It is made because we have reached a consensus that Adamawa State must work.
“It is made because we have collectively agreed that, we desire a better Adamawa State that is lifted from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope; with the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an Adamawa family and out of this family, each of us is at liberty to aspire to any height without any human hinderance.
“Welcome to the Adamawa of our dreams; here, we decide the faith of our governance by ourselves; we rise or fall together as one people; we have perfected the art of winning for our dear State. This time again, we won. Adamawa State won.”
The Governor added that by his re-election, the people of Adamawa State have proved that they were clear on what they wanted and desired.
He pledged to continue with his administration’s commitment to ensuring that Adamawa State experiences unprecedented development in all sectors of the economy.
