Governor Bello who accepted defeat, emphasized that Akpoti-Uduaghan and Abubakar Saddiq who has now lost his seat as the senator representing the zone as well as himself are relations and have no need to quarrel.
He said that it behoves on him as the governor to ensure that everyone lives in peace and harmony in the state.
