The Governor commended residents for their impressive turnout and warm reception, particularly during his earlier visit to Mahuta, describing their show of affection as a demonstration of solidarity.
“We visited Mahuta, and the turnout was as though a grand event was taking place. When we arrived here, it was as if nobody had left; everyone was waiting for us. We thank Allah and pray that He rewards you abundantly,” he noted.
Radda said his administration holds traditional and religious institutions in high esteem, recognising their contributions to peace, community leadership and grassroots development.
