The governor reassured Soludo that the transition would be seamless, adding that he would ensure that the incoming administration does not experience any challenges.

“There is no doubt about the capability of the governor-elect, and we are sure that he is coming to office prepared, and with a clear cut knowledge of what he wants to achieve,” Chioke said.
