The Jigawa state government has
banned rallies and celebration by supporters of winners of the just-concluded
state house of assembly and governorship elections in the state.
Governor Muhammad Badaru Abubakar
stated this shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,
declared him of Saturday’s election.
Governor Badaru won the election
with clear margin over his two major opponents of the Peoples Democratic party
PDP and Social Democratic party SDP.
Badaru, who is seeking a second
term in office, polled the total of 810,933 votes as the candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Aminu Ibrahim Ringim scored 288,356 while the
candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Bashir Adamu Jumbo scored 32894
votes.
Governor Badaru also commended
the Jigawa state people for giving him their mandate for the second time, and
assured to maintain the existing policies and programs in order to move the
state forward.
While stating that seventy per
cent villages in Jigawa state under his administration benefited from dividends
of democracy, he assured that the second tenure is a consolidation of what was
achieved in the first tenure.
“Jigawa people have confirmed to
the world that they appreciated what we have done in the last four year,” he
said.
He urged APC supporters to stay
away from any rally celebration, but pray for Allah’s guidance for those
elected to discharge their responsibilities.
Governor Badaru also advised
those in the opposition to come and join forces with him as he pledged to run
an open government and to hear the advice from anybody that will help in moving
the state forward.
