Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, who recently beat his main rival, Musa Wada of the Peoples Democratic Party to return as governor,  has dedicated his victory in last Saturday’s governorship election to his mother.

Speaking shortly after INEC officially announced him as duly returned, the governor  expressed gratitude to all those who made the victory possible for his party, the All Progressives Congress.

Governor Bello also paid tribute to those who lost their lives saying that their killers would not be spared the wrath of the law of the land.

“While we sympathise with those who lost their lives during the election, I assure you that everyone who had a hand in their killings will not be spared, they will be made to face the full wrath of the law of the land,” he said.
