He said government will continue to show respect for the traditional institutions.
He stated further that traditional rulers are the foundation on which Nigeria’s democracy rests.
“He said whenever there are challenges, when communities are fighting, when there is unrest by ordinary people, government at all levels from the president to governors and local council’s level, will have to call on traditional rulers to prevail on the people to help in the maintenance of law and order in the affected areas.
“I want to assure you that I will deliver the greatest good to the greatest number of Gwagwalada area council. I will respect the traditional rulers, I will always consult them and I will carry them along in all that we do.
“We cannot go wrong when we connect with traditional rulers at the grassroots level.”
