The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged President
Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop whining over
their “rejection” in the presidential election and quietly accept the will of
the people.
The party said the APC and agents of the Buhari Presidency, were
bewildered by defeat and thus plotting to discredit the votes which the
opposition party sad Nigerians freely delivered to its candidate, Atiku
Abubakar at their polling units.
A statement last night by the spokesman for the PDP, Kola
Ologbondiyan, said part of alleged plot is to trigger mayhem and burn down
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) offices in order to destroy
all evidence of poll results.
The statement said, “The PDP reminds President Buhari and the
APC that the polling unit is the foundation of the election and all our agents
and supporters already have the results in all the polling centers and voting
points across the country.
“As such, our party is holding strongly to our results as
already delivered by the people at the polling units and such cannot be
altered.
“The PDP, therefore, counsels President Buhari and his APC to
respect the will of the people and accept the verdict of the election. It is
not for President Buhari to direct his campaign spokesperson to tell Nigerians
that no party should rejoice.
“For us in the PDP, we already have the figures and we are aware
that Nigerians in their resolve and consensus have settled their votes in
favour of the people’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as the next President of our
country.
“President Buhari should be prepared to take his defeat in good
faith. After all, he will not be the first sitting President to lose in an
election”.
