Hon. Dennis Idahosa made this promise while speaking to APC members in Ward 6 and Ward 5, Egor Local Government Area, as he joined the Local Government leaders of the party in their governorship campaign mobilization visits.

Hon. Dennis Idahosa also promised the people that they will harness the gas potential of the State to provide stable and affordable electricity, unlike the kind being promoted by the PDP, which is only for the rich.
