He commended the electoral body and officials for their transparency and doggedness in the process, saying that the security apparatus deserve accolades for ensuring a peaceful conduct of the exercise.
Governor Mohammed appreciated the traditional rulers and religious leaders in the state for their contributions, saying now that the campaigns and elections are over, all hands must be put together to ensure that good governance is provided to the citizenry.
