THE governorship candidate of  Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Adamawa, Chief Emmanuel Bello, has urged voters in the affected units of Saturday’s supplementary election in the state  to troop out en-masse to vote.

Adamawa is one of the six states where the March 9 governorship elections were declared inconclusive by Independent National Electoral Commission and supplementary polls scheduled for Saturday.

Bello made the call on Tuesday  in a statement by the Media Director of his campaign organisation, Malam Umar Mustafa.

Bello reiterated his commitment to participating in the supplementary election.

He debunked speculations that he had withdrawn from the race, describing it as an attempt to confuse his supporters.

“I urge all my supporters to come out en-masse and partake in the election.

“It is to be noted that the votes cancelled in the total of 44 polling units spread across the state are mostly in SDP’s stronghold,” Bello said.

He lauded the people of Adamawa for their support and solidarity and urged them not to lose hope
