According to Alhaja Badru, ‘the future of the state is in capable hands under the leadership of Governor Abiodun, and members of the PDP are ready to work with him to actualise his lofty plans for the state’.

For Isiaka, his confidence in the Abiodun-led administration was high. He said: “We are confident because the morning shows the night from what we have seen in five months. If we had not seen positive signs, we probably would not have graduated our relationship. I have come with the leadership of my political structure across the state. This is to signify the fact that we are confident and happy with the way the governor is putting the state on a greater scale.”
