He said despite the absence of security officials around election areas, the State has remained calm and peaceful, which he described as a sign the people are in tune with the administration of Governor Abba Yusuf.
He further described Governor Abba Kabir a dogged leader with a meek appearance but very meticulous, who wouldn’t let any task half done which has resulted in the success of the election.
Ambassador Ibrahim also commended the media for upholding professionalism at ensuring credible reportage, encouraging them to maintain the tempo even after the election. He said, as critical stakeholders, the Government relies on them to disseminate its laudable human development policies and achievements for the consumption of the populace.
