The Presidential Campaign team of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has advised Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of Labour Party to accept defeat and congratulate the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This was said by Dele Adeleke, Media Adviser, to the APC presidential campaign team. He also criticized the LP and PDP for calling for the cancellation of the presidential election.
Recall that PDP and LP, on Tuesday, 28th March, held a media briefing in which they called for a cancellation and rerun of Saturday’s presidential election.
Alake said,
“This election has already been won by our candidate, according to the result declared by the collation centres in the states. In 2015, President Jonathan did not wait for INEC to finish collation before he called President Buhari in the true spirit of democracy and sportsmanship.
“We urge Abubakar and Obi to follow the same path of honour instead of heating the polity with reckless statements by surrogates. Let Atiku and Obi do the needful, the necessary thing and save Nigeria by calling Tinubu now and conceding defeat.”
