On Team Adenan, Abang Johari said: “I am the new captain, Awang Tengah is behind me as the midfielder and other players in the team are Abdul Karim, Talib and others. Team ‘Tok Nan’, with the new captain – together we will ‘Ngap Sayot’ for Sarawak.”

Abang Johari also pledged fairness and just leadership, saying that he was the chief minister for every race and community in the state.

He said he had good vibes for this town, adding that it had the potential for greater growth given its landscape coupled with the Rangau Valley development.

Abang Johari said he based his confidence in the Ranggau development project on his experience of reviving Sibu Jaya into a thriving township.
