The President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, has sent a message of congratulation to the governor-elect of Sokoto State, Alhaji Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, on his election at Saturday’s governorship polls.
Mark, in the message, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Paul Mumeh, noted that the election was a manifestation of the peoples’ trust and confidence in the leadership of Wamakko.
He therefore implored the governor-elect and his team to map out strategies for the overall transformation of the state, adding that his re-election should be seen as a platform to further strengthen the peaceful co-existence and unity within the state and beyond.
While encouraging the governor-elect to bring everybody on board in the task of developing the state, he, in like manner, urged the losers in the election to accept the result in good fate and cooperate with the winner in the interest of the people of the state.
According to Mark: “You have all done your best and the majority of the people of Sokoto State have decided. Besides, only one governor will be on seat at a time. All hands must be on deck in order to consolidate the gains of the past and move the state to greater height.”
He told Wamakko to build on his past foundation that would improve on the infrastructural development of the entire state.
