The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has presented the certificate of return to candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the just concluded gubernatorial election in Kogi State, Governor Yahaya Bello, and his Deputy, Mr Edward Onoja.

Bello received the certificate on Thursday, three days after he was declared as the winner of the just concluded governorship election in the state.

INEC’s National Commissioner in charge of Nasarawa, Kogi, and Kwara States, Mohammed Haruna, presented the certificate to the governor at a ceremony attended by the Commissioner of Police in Kogi which held at the INEC office in Lokoja, the state capital.

Earlier the Kogi state resident Electoral Commissioner, Professor James Apam said the presentation was in line with the tradition of the commission.

“We know what we went through to get to this stage and its time to settle down for the job ahead,” he noted.

In his acceptance speech, Governor Bello said while the day was the second time he would be receiving a Certificate of Return as a governor, it will not be the last time he will be receiving a Certificate of Return from INEC.
