The new Governor, Mohammed Bago was sworn in as the leader of the state on the 29th of May, 2023. He was elected under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Revealing why Governor Mohammed Bago should appoint an Igbo into his cabinet, Chief Valentine Oparaocha said, “There is no part of the state you don’t find an Igbo man or woman. Go to any market, you will see them doing their best and contributing to the state’s economy, that is why we feel that it will not be out of place to ask to be included in the cabinet”

He added; “Igbo people are naturally business inclined and contribute more than other tribes to the growth and development of Niger State, especially in the Internally Generated Revenue, and we have remained committed to doing that.”

He stated further; “We voted for Bago because our son, George Dike, assured us of his sincerity to carry the Igbo people along. We voted for him even when we were sidelined in the largesse that was shared with the other 26 non-indigenous tribes in the state.”
