NIGER GOV: PDP’s candidate Nasko concedes defeat to APC’s Bello

The Niger State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate, Umar Nasko has conceded defeat to the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate Abubakar Sani Bello (Abu Lolo).

However, Nasko said yesterday in a statement signed by Yahaya Mohammed Usman, a member of his campaign team that he conceded defeat because it was the peoples’ right to decide who should win.

Usman said “for now, the people of our dear state have decided and I submit to their decision which though not in my favour but for my co-contestant and brother Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello of the APC. I believe he has the interest of the state just like me, at heart.

“My hearty congratulations goes to Abu Lolo and his team for the success recorded. I urge him to always put the interest of the people and the state first above all.”

Nasko while commending Niger State people for the support given to him, called on all to give the incoming government maximum cooperation that will lead to his success.

He said that his aspiration was borne out of a fervent desire to move the state to the next level of development following a robust foundation that had been laid by the previous democratic dispensation.

According to him “I have worked tirelessly and timelessly too! For these, I will not despair, I will continue to do this even outside government”.
