The state’s deputy chairman of the APC, Alhaji Bala Abu Musawa, pledged his commitment to highlighting the achievements of the Radda-led administration in the last seven months through electronic and social media.
He also expressed gratitude to the governor for providing brand new cars to the party’s vice chairmen from the three senatorial zones.
