The governor disclosed that 17,500 Delta students had benefited from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), encouraging more students to apply.
He highlighted his administration’s achievements in infrastructure, education and healthcare, noting that his administration had approved the building of State Police Divisional headquarters in the 25 local government areas in anticipation of its proposed establishment.
At another rally at Ozoro, he urged Isoko people to show love to their daughter, his wife, Tobore, by voting massively for APC, even as he urged party members to intensify grassroots mobilisation and work for the victory of all party candidates.
