Statement on My Consultation Visit to the Niger State Governor
As part of my ongoing consultations ahead of the 2027 general elections, I had the honour of visiting the Executive Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Umaru Bago, alongside his Deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the Government House in Minna, following my purchase of the Nomination and Expression of Interest Forms to contest for the Niger South Senatorial seat.
My aspiration to represent the good people of Niger South is driven by a strong sense of responsibility to serve and to advance the collective interests of our communities. This visit was aimed at seeking guidance and blessings from the state leadership, in line with my belief that effective leadership must be anchored on respect for institutions, consultation, and shared responsibility.
I consider it both necessary and important to engage key stakeholders as we work towards building a more inclusive, united, and progressive Niger State. During the visit, I commended the present administration for its efforts in promoting development, stability, and good governance across the state.
I also reaffirmed my commitment to delivering effective representation, sound legislation, and people-oriented policies if given the opportunity to serve. My aspiration goes beyond personal interest; it is rooted in years of engaging with our communities through initiatives in education, empowerment, and social development. However, I believe there is still much more to be done to improve the lives of our people.
I emphasized the need for synergy between the legislative and executive arms of government, noting that sustainable development can only be achieved through unity, cooperation, and a shared vision.
I am grateful for the warm reception, wise counsel, and encouragement I received during the visit. The engagement has further strengthened my resolve and commitment to the path ahead.
As we continue this journey, I remain committed to the ideals of unity, inclusiveness, and service, and to contributing meaningfully towards building a better future for Niger South and Niger State at large.
