"My administration will never allow a situation whereby the people of the state will be harassed by ant security apparatus under the guise of looking for any missing personnel without authourisation. There must be order if we have to grow| he said.
He promised to bring development to the state using the various contacts he has established across the globe. he said his administration will impact on the people of the state in the area of security, economic growth, commerce and industry, sports, health as well as tourism development. "I have a blue print that will bring growth and development to all facets of the state which will in turn bring development to the state.

He said the people of the state needs a young and energetic person in the state's seat of power an that Mr. Pafi is a symbol of such personality needed in governance. He said indications have shown that the people of the state are willing to discard the APC and PDP for the SDP in the coming general elections next year.
