The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has called the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari a “dogged fighter” for his part in Nigeria’s Presidential elections.
Fayose also urged Nigerians to accept the results of the elections in good faith calling them “the will of God.”
The governor made the comments via a statement released on Tuesday, March 31 by his media aide, Lere Olayinka.
The statement reads:
“The
election result is the will of God and Nigerians and all lovers of
peace, progress and development of Nigeria must accept it.”
“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 resilient and
dogged fighter.
“I urge Nigerians, irrespective of
their ethnic, 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.”
The
official winner of the Presidential elections has not been announced
but Buhari is currently ahead of President Goodluck Jonathan with about 3
million votes.
Fayose, a member of the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had previously attacked Buhari calling
him a diaper-wearing old man who was too old to become Nigeria’s
President.
