The National Chairman of the
Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, ACPN, Alhaji Ganiyu Galadima, has
congratulated the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
President Muhammadu Buhari on his victory over the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Galadima described the Buhari’s
victory as “well deserved. ”
He, however, urged him to form a
Government of National Unity.
This was contained in a statement
he personally signed and made available to reporters yesterday in Abuja.
He called on Atiku to concede
defeat or channel his grievances through appropriate quarters without letting
them degenerate into a security threat to the country.
Galadima said, “President
Muhammadu Buhari’s victory is a well deserved one, considering his popularity,
acceptance across board and his performances in the last three and half years.
“We as a party had expressed our
support for him even before the election and we thank God that our support did
not go in vain.
“We, therefore, urge Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar of the PDP to see Buhari’s victory as the will of the majority of
Nigerians. The people have spoken. We expect him as a democrat to concede
defeat and move on, bearing in mind that it is God that gives power.
“We also believe that Alhaji
Abubakar and his party have rights to challenge the outcome but we advise that
such should be done in a peaceful manner without putting the security of
Nigeria and Nigerians at risk.”
The ACPN wants Buhari “to do
everything possible to unite the country, possibly by forming a Government of
National Unity which will bring on board all stakeholders that have something
to offer the nation.
“We believe that President Buhari
should do more on the area of insecurity beyond the Northeast. Energy should be
deployed to ensure that the nation’s economy is revamped and the social safety
nets should be improved upon to better the lives of Nigerians especially the
elderly and the unemployed.”
