He said: “It is important for you to understand that wherever you live is your home.
“It is important that you register here in Nasarawa State.

“It’s good for you to vote for persons that will represent you directly where you live.
“I’m urging you to stay and register in Nasarawa State so that you will feel comfortable voting for people that would make impact in your life.”

He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment toward ensuring adequate security for lives and property of the entire residents of the state, saying it remains a priority of his administration.

The Governor also promised that his administration would continue to provide critical infrastructure, such as roads, water, education and health, amongst others.
