He said people showed up in large numbers across different wards and local government areas, and he appreciated the level of support he received during the exercise.
He described the turnout as a clear sign of trust and confidence from his supporters. According to him, the backing he received reflects belief in the vision he has for the district and the future he wants to build with the people.
