Speaking with journalists shortly after the declaration of the result, the Director-General, PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Kebbi State and party agent, Bala Dole, expressed appreciation for it.

He claimed that if not for some ”little hitches” his party would have got more votes.

Also, the APC agent, Ja’afar Ahmed, said there were issues with the result, insisting that the exercise was characterised by violence, late arrival of election materials, malfunctioning of BIVAS as well as an inducement in different forms.

Responding, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in the State, Ahmed Bello-Mahmud, expressed appreciation that the elections were conducted peacefully, fairly, credibly and conclusively collated devoid of any rancour.

He appealed to the electorate to maintain the tempo in the forthcoming elections for the good of all.
