Hon Danasabe expressed confidence in God and the people of the area, saying with God on his side and the support of the party leaders, he “stands the chance of emerging as the party’s flag bearer.”
On his major priority, he said “If elected, I want to empower the youths through skills acquisition, assist our women with soft loans to improve their businesses and harness the untapped abundant resources in the Local Government for its development.
