Mr. Ishaku, who is the incumbent governor of the state, warned his supporters not to engage in provocative actions as they celebrate his victory in the poll.
He also condemned what he described as unprovoked attacks on Taraba residents as well as the arrest of others in the course of the election.
“I will not fail to observe that it has not been so good during the campaigns where hooliganism was displayed by so many people. I would wish that politics should be practised without bitterness and I have shown the example that politics can be practised without bitterness.”
“I, therefore, condemn in strong terms, the unprovoked arrest and attack on law-abiding citizens as well as the destruction of property in some instances and regrettably, even death. Elections are not a do or die affairs,” he maintained.
