The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned recent
events in the United States and President Donald Trump’s refusal to concede
defeat.
The APC stated its position on Saturday in a statement by
John Akpan Udoedehe, Secretary of its Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention
Planning Committee.
Nigeria’s ruling party said over time, elections in America
had been used as a reference in other democracies.
The scribe noted that strong institutions are fundamental to
the sustenance of democracies.
“This U.S. election saga strongly underscores the fact that
the integrity of the country’s leader essentially complements the workings of
these institutions.
“President Muhammadu Buhari contested and lost elections a
couple of times and followed the process through to the Supreme Court on all
accounts. This is an outstanding credential of a true democrat.”
Udoedehe recalled that the APC contested elections, won
some, lost some without splitting hairs.
The secretary added that at some point, it lost more than
five states to the PDP, yet allowed democracy to prevail.
He said the APC had remained resolute in its belief that in
every electoral contest, the popular will of the people must prevail.
