After voting, Mohammed said he would not contest the outcome of the governorship election, stating that the election was not a do-or-die affair.
He commended voter turnout, while his media aid, Mouktar Gidado, condemned the preparation of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which kept voters waiting for hours.
Gidado said election materials arrived late, as INEC staff were not on the ground until after 9:30 am at Haruna Memorial Primary School ward 029 in the Alkaleri Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
