Allow Ekiti to enjoy peace, presidency tells APC

THE Presidency has observed that the decision of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to go to court over the Ekiti State gubernatorial election widely adjudged to be free and fair, is consistent with the flaw in the character of the party but has urged it to allow the people of the state to enjoy peace and progress.


Making this declaration in an interview with reporters in Abuja at the weekend, the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Professor Ahmed Alkali, observed that the Ekiti election was transparent and free of rancour with the outcome decisively in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said even though many people were surprised that Fayemi immediately accepted the result and congratulated Fayose, the PDP was not surprised as it had led the way in conceding victory in past gubernatorial elections.
He said: “First and foremost, let me say that today the world is a witness about what happened in Ekiti state. It is well known that the election was conducted free of rancour, transparently and the outcome was decisive in favour of our party (PDP).”

He observed that APC’s decision to challenge the Ekiti election verdict in court is a confirmation of the flaw in the party’s character which he said frequently disagrees with its candidates.

The presidential aide said, “We have thought that with the new face emerging now where people accept defeats when they know they have lost, I think it should be allowed to grow so that we can now begin to mature as a democracy.
