Gobir disclosed this while addressing Party supporters and people of Alapa Community in Asa local government in continuation of his statewide campaign tour ahead of 2023 general elections.
The YPP candidate said his administration will pay attention to grassroots development by addressing infrastructural gaps in rural areas.
