Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose,
has described the presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) as a dogged fighter, urging
Nigerians to accept the outcome of the Saturday’s presidential election
in good faith.
The governor also imposed a 7.30pm to
6am curfew on his state, starting from Tuesday. The governor said the
curfew was to prevent violence that might arise after the declaration of
the final results.
Fayose, in a statement issued by his
Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka,
“hailed the resilience and commitment of Buhari” adding that the
election result was the will of God, which, he said, must not been seen
as a victory or loss for any political party.
He said, “To me, Nigerians and democracy
won. By this election, Nigerians have shown that democracy has come to
stay in the country.
“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 affiliations 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.”
