The governor called on Nigerians irrespective of their political affiliations to join hands and support  the many  initiatives of the president in order to move the nation forward.

He  warned criminal elements if there is any , to move out of the state or they face the full wrath of the law and the security agencies.

While felicitating with Muslim Ummah , Governor Ododo urged the people of the State to reflect on the spirit of the Sallah celebration to sacrifice more in the name of Allah, and to commit to actions that uplift the  state and country at large.

“As a government, we are committed to protecting lives and property and promoting social welfare by delivering dividends of democracy to enhance the living conditions of our people at all times.

“Let us be security conscious and engage in consistent watch over our neighbourhoods and be prepared to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement agents who are present in all our communities” he stated .
