“We know our Presidential Candidate, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We also know that our Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq that is seeking reelection is popular. So also are our candidates for the House of Representatives, Senate, and the State House of Assembly. Their popularity must make winning easier for them”.
Dr Abdulmaliq-Bashir stated that Governor Abdulrazaq has done across board including provision of social amenities and appointment of Asa local government indigenes to key positions in the OTOGE administration, noting that more development will come to the council when the Governor is reelected.
