In a significant show of political backing, Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has pledged his full support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairmanship candidate, Dr Mustapha Jibrin, in the forthcoming Chanchaga Local Government Council elections.
Governor Bago made this public pledge during a courtesy visit by Dr Jibrin and his campaign team to the Niger State liaison office in Abuja, where he lauded the candidate’s dedication and his overwhelming acceptance within the party and community.
“Your emergence as the APC candidate is a clear testament to your perseverance, commitment, and credibility,” Governor Bago said, describing the selection as well-deserved and timely.
Bago acknowledged the unique socio-political and environmental challenges plaguing Chanchaga Local Government, including security threats, social vices, and sanitation issues.
He expressed confidence in Dr. Jibrin’s leadership capacity to tackle these problems with strategic and innovative approaches.
“Chanchaga needs someone who can think outside the box. I urge you to develop actionable solutions that can deliver quick and sustainable results as soon as you assume office,” the governor advised.
