The governor, while speaking on the 2023 general elections, stressed the need to punish politicians using religion as a campaign tool.
According to him, some politicians were using religion and ethnicity to create division in their campaigns.
He added:
“People are united in their poverty, in their need for education, in decent healthcare and to put food on their table, that is what we should focus on but some people are holding meetings to promote religious and ethnic division.
