Accept Defeat With Dignity, Sportsmanship – Gov Bala Urges PDP Members
Says poll loss lesson for all
BY SEGUN ADEBAYO – In what many political observers are applauding as a clear departure from existing norms, Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed of Bauchi state has charged members and supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to accept with “dignity and sportsmanship” the Party’s defeat at the just concluded State Assembly Dass bye-election
Governor Bala described the loss by PDP as the “will of God” and “encouraged party faithfuls not to be divided by the temporary setback.”
According to him, the loss is a lesson for all and as “warriors, both his government and PDP need to plan to regain their lost ground with chivalry, tactics and team work.”
A statement by Muktar Gidado, Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Governor quoted him as saying; “All praise and adoration belong to Allah. The loss of our party is a leason for all of us, but no one is to be blame.”
“Remember we lost 21 House of Assembly seats and 3 Senate seats in 2019 but Allah gave us victory in the gubernatorial election. Let us not play to the gallery by indulging in blame game, internal rancor, accusations and mistrust.”
The governor therefore appreciated all PDP members for their doggedness, support and contributions towards ensuring his administration’s success in the State.
