The governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have congratulated Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state and Bayelsa state Governor-elect, David Lyon, on their victories at last Saturday’s governorship polls.

The governors, in two separate letters addressed to the duo by the Director-General of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Salihu Mohammed Lukman, rejoiced with party members over the victories and expressed readiness to work with them in order to achieve rapid development and governance reforms in their states.
