And he recommends American and the rest of the World to learn from the conduct and success of the election for future reference". The National President added that, the Newly Elected State Chairman is a capable hand and he trusts that he and his executives would lead HOSCON Bayelsa to greater heights. He therefore congratulated the new executives and wished them well as the resume in their new portfolios as leaders of the body in the State.
