The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has congratulated Mr.
Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq on his victory in the governorship election in Kwara
State.
Abdulrasaq of the All Progressives Congress (APC) polled
331,546 votes to beat his closest rival, Razak Atunwa of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), who scored 114,754 votes.
Senator Saraki took to his twitter account on Sunday,
shortly after the results and declaration was made by the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, to extend his message, while also wishing other
victorious candidates all the best.
“I thank all Kwarans, particularly PDP supporters, who
worked for the party in the just-concluded elections. My congratulations go to
Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq and all those who emerged at all levels. I wish them all
the best,” he tweeted.
Senator Saraki who is a former governor of the state, lost
his re-election bid to the National Assembly under the Peoples Democratic
Party.
