I CONGRATULATE ALHAJI ABUBAKAR SANI BELLO ON HIS ELECTION AS GOVERNOR NIGER STATE.
Over the past six months I have gone round the nooks and crannies of our dear state, seeking the mandate of our people to lead as Governor of The state, my aspiration was borne out of a fervent desire to move our state to the next level of development following a robust foundation that have being laid by the previous democratic dispensations. I have worked tirelessly and timelessly too! For these, I will not despair, I will continue to do this even outside government.
For now the people of our dear state have decided and I submit to their decision which though not in my favor but for my co- contestant and brother Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello of the All progressive congress (APC), for I believe he has the interest of the state just like me, at heart.
