Coalition of sixteen governorship candidates in the just confused Kogi governorship election has condemned calls for cancellation of the poll.
Addressing a press conference in Lokoja on Monday, Chairman of the coalition, Dr. Sani Shaibu Teidi urged all political parties to play by the rule.
The coalition accepted the results of governorship election and called on losers to work with the winner for accelerated development in the state.
“We condemn in totality the call for cancellation of the election by the civil society groups because of the enormity of waste and loss of lives that might occur in the course of rerun of another election.
“We appeal to the winner to be magnanimous in victory and prepare to mend fences for an all-inclusive governance. We are also appealing to all stakeholders to accept the winner for participatory governance,” he said.
The coalition congratulated Governor Yahaya Bello for the overwhelming victory at the poll.
