Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has hailed President Goodluck
Jonathan and the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), for their fighting spirit
in the ongoing presidential poll.
In a statement on Tuesday, Fayose, however, stopped short of
congratulating the APC candidate for his likely victory in the poll.
Fayose’s statement by his Special Adviser on Communication and New Media, Lere Olayinka, reads;
“Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has urged Nigerians to
accept the outcome of the Saturday presidential election in good faith,
saying; ‘the election result is the will of God and Nigerians , and all
lovers of peace, progress and development of Nigeria must accept it’.”
“Governor Fayose, in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on
Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, hailed the
resilience and commitment of President Goodluck Jonathan and General
Mohammadu Buhari (retd).”
“The governor said the election results should not been seen as
victory or loss for any political party, adding that ‘To me, Nigerians
and democracy won’. He praised Nigerians for believing in the democratic process, adding
that ‘By this election, Nigerians have shown that Democracy has come to
stay in the country’.”
“The governor said, ‘I salute Nigerians, especially the great people
of Ekiti State. I salute President Jonathan for laying the most solid
foundation for democracy in Nigeria. And I salute Major General Buhari
for being a resilience and dogged fighter.”
“I urge Nigerians, irrespective of their ethic, religious and
political affiliation to respect the outcome of the election in the
interest of peace, progress and development of the country. Nigeria as a country is greater than any individual or group and it
is my plea that no one should do anything to rock the boat of peace in
the country.”
