The governorship candidate promised that the ADC authorities’s insurance policies would give attention to the struggling residents of the state.

He pledged to introduce over 100,00 housing models and make them accessible to all.

He stated that his administration would make the state safer and cleaner for residents if elected within the 2027 basic elections.
