After receiving his certificate, the governor-elect promised to run a collective government without discrimination on the basis of ethnic, religious or political affiliation, in the interest of the state.

From his speech, it appeared that issues bordering on challenges of security and peace would be among the priorities of his government, while peace-building programmes and processes, as well as reconciliation and economic empowerment will also receive adequate attention.

The elected Senators and members of the House of Representatives in Jos, Plateau State were also presented with their certificates of return.

The Electoral Commissioner in charge of Plateau, Nassarawa and Kogi States, Abdulkadir Oniyangi, challenged the newly elected officers to justify the certificates they received by serving the people rather than their personal interests.
