Muhammed made the promise during a press conference in Bauchi on Sunday,
shortly after the announcement of the supplementary poll results by the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Mohammed polled 6,376 votes as against 5,117 garnered by the incumbent
governor, Muhammed Abubakar of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
NAN reports that the just concluded supplementary election took place in
15 Local Government Areas of the state on Saturday. “Today is a very
auspicious day for us in Bauchi and on behalf of the party, I wish to
express gratitude and appreciation to God almighty.
“The collation of the supplementary poll that has just been concluded by
INEC is a work of God and we owe it to him. “We also owe it to the people
of Bauchi who have stood very firm on the threshold of freedom and liberty
and have shown that they are the icons of democracy and liberty. “Words
alone cannot express my appreciation to them all,” the governor-elect
said.
Muhammed also said that the auspicious achievement recorded by the PDP in
the supplementary election deserved to be celebrated. He however, called
on all his supporters to celebrate in peace.
“They should all go out to celebrate but they should celebrate in peace
and with gratitude to God because what we want is peace and tranquility,
harmony and good relationship with one another.
“We do not have any acrimony or hatred against anybody, even those who
didn’t vote for us, we want them to join us in this celebration because
this is democracy,” he said. Muhammed also appreciated the security
agencies in the state promising to continue to work with them as they had
shown they were the key partners of the society. (NAN)
