Therefore, I urge each one of you to foster strong relationships within your wards, listen to the voices of the people, and engage them actively in the decision-making process. Remember, governance is not a solitary endeavor; it thrives on cooperation and partnerships.
“Furthermore, I must emphasize the importance of upholding the tenets of democracy and good governance. In our quest for development, let us maintain respect for the rule of law, ensuring that our actions reflect the aspirations of the people we represent. It is our duty to be champions of accountability and transparency, fostering trust in the local government.
