He also urged cooperation of the opposition and the general public to enable the governor-elect operate in an atmosphere of peace to enable him deliver good governance to the people.
He praised party leaders, particularly the President, for leading an administration that made promotion of democratic norm its cornerstone, noting that this was responsible for the peaceful and transparent conduct of the election that made the result acceptable to all the candidates of other political parties.
