BAUCHI State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, for the improvement in the governorship and State Assembly elections.
He also said would accept the outcome of the polls.
He stated this in an interview with journalists shortly after casting his vote at Bakin Dutse Polling Unit 008, in Yelwan Duguri, Alkaleri Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
Our correspondent reports that the governor arrived at his Polling Unit at 11.20 am and exercised his franchise.
He said INEC had done very well saying he was impressed with the conduct in his area.
“My village is about 120 kilometres from the Bauchi metropolis and I saw people coming out en masse, so the turnout is very impressive. I hope the higher the turnout, the more votes for me. I wouldn’t say and I cannot predict what would happen.
“Everything appears to be peaceful, people are looking so joyous and exhilarated and I feel that this is the kind of situation we need all over the country – people exercising their universal suffrage without any hindrance, acrimony or conflict. We’re very grateful to God.
