Former Vice-President Atiku
Abubakar has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to accept defeat in
good faith if it loses the July 14 governorship election.
Atiku, who visited Ayo Fayose,
governor of Ekiti, said losing an election to a rival party should be seen in
the light of the concession by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
Atiku was accompanied by the
members of the PDP governorship campaign council.
The former vice-president also
expressed satisfaction with the level of preparedness of the PDP for the
election.
“We are satisfied that the
Peoples Democratic Party is prepared for this election,” he said.
“We hope that the All
Progressives Congress (APC) will accept the outcome of the election.
“They should be democratic for
the first time. We have seen how democratic they are, but for the first time in
2015, we have the opposition party taking over from the ruling party, we expect
them to do the same.”
In his remarks, Fayose said the
PDP was ready for the election, vowing that the people of the state would
defend their votes.
“They (PDP leaders) are here
because they know that PDP has won this election. Everyone is on the same page
with us,” he said.
“We are looking forward to
observers from all over the world because I am the voice they want to suppress.
We are prepared for the election and we are going to win.”
Among those in Abubakar’s
delegation were Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate president; former Senate
President David Mark; Ibrahim Shekarau, former governor of Kano state; Gbenga
Daniel, former governor of Ogun;
and Eyinnaya Abaribe, a senator from
Abia.
