The immediate past Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Professor Stephen Ocheni has described Governor Yahaya Bello’s victory at the Election Petition Tribunal as divine.

Professor Ocheni in an interview with Newsmen stated that the victory of Governor Bello was a confirmation of the overwhelming mandate given to the Governor by the electorates in the last Gubernatorial election.

He asserted that the Tribunal judgement has clearly shown that all the processes and steps to the last Governorship election in which Governor Yahaya Bello won by landslide margin portrays the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a popular Party in Kogi State.

Professor Ocheni reassured that APC under Governor Bello will continue to discharge its responsibilities to the people of the state with utmost diligence and sincerity.

While congratulating Alhaji Yahaya Bello on the landmark victory, the former Minister appealed to all, especially the political elites to sheath their swords and join hands with the new direction administration in Kogi State in order to build a United, cohensive and prosperous Kogi State.

The former Minister also congratulated the Deputy Governor of the state, Chief Edward Onoja on the legal victory, describing him as an asset to the present administration in Kogi State.
