Niger State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello on Sunday reassured the people of the state that his administration will cater for all residents irrespective of political and socio-cultural affiliation.
Governor Sani Bello stated this in Kontagora at the weekend while meeting with various stakeholders from the area in continuation of his efforts to carry the people along and get public input in governance.
In his remark, Bello said: “I recognise that I contested on the platform of the All Progressives Congress and promised to abide by its constitution and manifesto. I am 100 percent loyal APC member, but I swore to an oath to abide by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Nigerian Constitution is supreme; it is above the constitution of APC or any other political party. Political parties come and go, but Nigerian Constitution remain. I am not a governor for just APC members but all citizens of the state.”
This, he explained, informed the spread of developmental projects and programmes so far undertaken or being executed.
The Governor explained to the stakeholders the current financial difficulties Niger State was going through and called on them to support government policies and programmes geared toward repositioning the state.
“Nigeria in general and Niger state in particular is facing serious economic challenges as a result of fall in oil price at international market and security challenges in the Niger Delta.
