In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Kula Tersoo, and released to journalists in Makurdi on Friday, the governor accepted the resolution.
The statement read in parts, “The Assembly accused the BSIEC chairman of lacking good judgement as to which decision will appeal to the greater majority of all stakeholders, and also that his actions so far in office fall short of the public interest.
