ABUJA—GOVERNOR Mohammed Bello of Niger State, yesterday, said those pushing the former vice president and presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in February 23 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to challenge the outcome of the election in court could be doing so to get money from him.

According to him, with his victory, people
of the state should be assured that his administration was committed to
providing dividends of democracy to them and to complete ongoing
projects it started, adding that the new ones to be embarked on would
be of benefit to the general public.

On Atiku’s claim that he
won the election, Bello said: “It is not unusual, when you lose
elections, you go to court for so many reasons. It could be that you
think you won or it could be that someone is telling you that you have
won or it could be that someone is telling you some miracles can happen.
“It could also be that someone wants to get money off you. So there is
no reason why after free and fair elections had been conducted and it is
clear in the eyes of the world, one still believes that there are
shoddy dealings.

“Anyone who feels dissatisfied is free to
approach a court of law. It is a free world, everyone is entitled to his
opinion. But honestly, from what I saw in Niger, this election has been
the fairest election we have conducted so far.” Despite the declaration
of election inconclusive in some states by Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, the governor said that election was the
fairest election so far conducted in the country. He said: “I think INEC
did extremely well, the security agencies did very well as well. It is
not unusual when you hold elections in a country like Nigeria where you
have so many units to have issues with one or two units.”
