President Buhari has described Yahaya Bello's victory at the Kogi state governorship polls as a race well run and a victory well wo. He said the victory is as a result of the determination of the APC supporters and stakeholders. He also warns the opposition against embracing violence, saying: “All political actors and stakeholders must take deliberate steps to eschew electoral violence as a peaceful and orderly process is vital to our quest for enduring democracy.”.

He also enjoins the governor to imbibe the spirit of magnanimity in victory by extending a hand of partnership to opposition candidates, while urging those dissatisfied with the outcome of the election to approach the courts.
