The presidential candidates of Labour Party, Peter Obi, and his counterpart for the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, have been urged to accept defeat by congratulating the APC flag bearer, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who won Saturday’spresidentialelection.
The APC PCC Special Adviser on Media and Strategic Communications, Dele Alake, made the call at a press conference in Abuja.
Alake said, “We call on Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, to emulate former President Goodluck Jonathan by conceding defeat. This election has already been won by our candidate, according to the results declared at the collation centres in the state. In 2015, President Jonathan did not wait for INEC to finish collation before he called President Muhammadu Buhari and congratulated him in the true spirit of democracy and sportsmanship.
“We urge Atiku Abubakar and Obi to follow the same path of honour, instead of attempting to heat the polity via the reckless statements by surrogates. Let Atiku and Obi call Tinubu now.”
