The Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the February 23, 2019 contentious Presidential election Mr. Peter Obi has urged the victorious gubernatorial candidate of the party in Zamfara state Alhaji Bello Mohammad Matawelle and national and state legislators from state to see their victory as a challenge to work and to uplift their state.
Obi said in a congratulatory message to the Governor elect that God must have a reason why it has to be him that should take the mandate of the people of the embattled state now.
He said in a statement from his media office in Abuja on Saturday that the fallout from Zamfara state should teach politicians a lesson that God has the final say on who gets what position.
