This positioning suggests his belief in being well-equipped to steer the state in the right direction, addressing the multifaceted challenges it may face.
Commitment to Employment and Workers’ Welfare:
In a bid to address issues stemming from the screening exercise under the current government, Melaye promised to recall those who were dismissed within six months of assuming office.
Furthermore, he assured that their arrears would be settled in full.
This commitment aims to resonate with voters concerned about employment stability and workers’ welfare.
Closing Remarks:
