The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MCBAN) has congratulated Gov. Yahaya Bello for emerging victorious in the Nov. 16 governorship election in Kogi State.
The state Secretary of the organisation, Mr Mohammed Suleiman, who made the commendation in a statement in Lokoja on Thursday described the victory as good and well deserved.
He called on the governor to use his second term to provide meaningful development for the state, urging him to embark on programmes and projects that will impact positively on the life of the people.
Suleiman also lauded fulanis in the state for trooping out in a large number on election day and for heeding the directive to vote for Bello, saying that their action contributed immensely to his emergence at the polls.
He also called on all fulanis to remain peaceful and to resist any attempt to be used by aggrieved politicians to disrupt the peace of the state.
The organisation charged the governor to carry along all sections in the distribution of amenities and political appointments in the interest of equity and justice.
The MCBAN appealed to the people of the state to cooperate and support Bello in his efforts to take the state to the next level.
According to him, whoever is not satisfied with the outcome of the election should seek legal redress instead of resorting to violence.
