“I have received threats. I do not mind those threats; I take them in good faith. Some have said that there would not be peace in the state. I have directed the state Commissioner of Police to arrest anybody found making trouble and make the person to face the wrath of the law. We have been tolerating all sorts of rubbish from them but these have to end now”, he warned.
The governor said that the administration would no longer folds its hands and watch mischievous elements or group to continue to undermine the integrity of his government adding that “the administration has the political will to deal with them decisively”.

He stressed the determination of the administration to wipe out corruption in the system and enthrone accountability for effective delivery of rural roads and provision of basic amenities and infrastructural development.
He said: “However, as you take the mantle of leadership in you respective local government areas, we shall not tolerate any form of arrogance from you, since you are there to serve the people, you must be seen to be fair to all no matter their political interests. Whenever you face challenges that you cannot help, refer to us so that we can collectively look at the issues.”Monday 23 November 2015
