Okpebholo, condemned the act at Government House during a Condolence Visit to Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State on Monday.

“I was deeply saddened by this unfortunate Incident. Upon my arrival, I met with my Hausa Brothers, who had generously supported me during my Election Campaign,” Okpebholo said.

Some Candidates according to the Statement registered with Awaiting Results from IJMB and JUPEB during the 2024 Registration Exercise but are still to upload their Results.
