“My people came to me complaining bitterly about how terrible and hard it is to get water to drink and to use. I had no choice than making sure they get good portable water, thereby extending the good governance of His Excellency Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.

“I urge Kwarans to keep faith with Gov. Abdulrazaq due to his people’s focused programmes and policies, raising governance bar and bringing government closer to the people.”
