El-Rufai spokesman Samuel Aruwan made this known through the statement adding that Governor Ramalan Yero, who was defeated by the All Progressives Congress politician, also wrote an official congratulatory message to El-Rufai.
It should be recalled that El-Rufai secured victory by polling 1,117,635 vs Yero’s 485,833 votes.
According to Premium Times, Sambo wished the governor-elect a successful tenure in office and urged him to use his wealth of experience for the peace and development of Kaduna state and Nigeria at large.
He also urged Kaduna people to effectively cooperate with the new leader for the state to reach greater heights.
Even before the official announcement was made by the Independent National Electoral Commission, Yero had called El-Rufai around 3pm, Sunday, to concede victory.
