She posited that the governor having unified the state, irrespective of political leanings, through his style of governance, deserves to be returned for a second term.
In her words: “Every gubernatorial election is very important. However, the increased awareness of civil societies and local communities is influencing voters properly.
“The candidate I represent. The candidate I will vote for makes no promise. He is living the work. My candidate knows how to include diversity in equity. He knows how to offer religious freedom, he knows what is called community security.
“My candidate knows what is called housing and infrastructure. My candidate knows what is called education for the old, young and civil society.
The Technical Assistant (TA) on Diaspora, urged voters,especially, first timers to vote according to candidate’s pedigree and not based on #3000 given on election day, adding that voters should always put their loved ones in their sub conscience, while
taking decisions that would account for their future.
While she acknowledged the importance of the November 11, 2023 gubernatorial election, she enjoined voters to recognize God fearing, community loving and security conscious leader.
She admonished the electorate to avoid voting for someone who would use intimidation and violence to grab power, stressing that the state needs a role model like Diri to guide the youths.
She described the governor’s style of governance as bringing systemic change with calculated focus by upholding democratic principles and eliminating the barriers of the minority.
“Senator Douye Diri is not a governor for PDP but for everybody. He is tested and trusted,” she added.
