“Providing good governance is about leadership. We are here everyday flagging off projects, commissioning projects even though our tenure is coming to an end."
Leading the people to the right alliance
Further speaking on leading the people aright, the governor said it would always be difficult for seasonal politicians who failed to deliver on their mandate or service to the people to solicit votes.
He also noted that now that he has delivered in infrastructural development in Eneka, he can always come back to the locality to ask the people for their support.
He added:
“Now that I have come to Eneka to provide this basic infrastructure, I can come back to Eneka and ask you to follow me, let us go there or let us stay here. Do they have what it takes to come and talk to you? Can they come and talk to you?
“It is somebody that hears from you that you have also heard from. This one you’ve not provided anything for my people, you’ve not asked them what they want, then you want to tell them where to vote.
