…congratulates Tinubu on win
The Coordinator, Contact and Mobilization Committee, Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Committee, in Ekiti State, Hon. Bamidele Faparusi, has cautioned members of the Labour Party to stop chasing shadows and displaying vain desperation.
He made this known in a press statement released to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti yesterday, stating that the Labour Party should consolidate on the electoral success recorded at the poll to build a more formidable opposition needed to ensure good governance by the APC.
He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, despite the daunting challenges being faced to ensure the credibility of the process of the February 25 general poll.
“International communities and civil society organizations should not be deceived and misled by fake reports discrediting the outcome of one of the freest and fairest elections this country has ever conducted in recent times.
” If you look at the pattern of the results, you will realize that the outcome of that presidential election is the true reflection of the will of Nigerians. The people of Nigeria have spoken very loudly that their choice is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
“This is politics and not a wish game, therefore PDP and LP should not think they can force their wish on the country. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride”
”Mr. Peter Obi, and his followers should allow the votes of the people in the rural areas to count, winners of elections are not determined only by votes from the urban areas.
“in most polling units in Ekiti State, LP does not have a polling agent let alone mobilizers, the votes recorded by LP are from the student environs of Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, and that is understandable” He said.
According to the former national assembly member, he had predicted that Ekiti will give Asiwaju the highest percentage of votes and that LP will not get 10% in the State, and that was what happened.
“So, I was surprised when LP and PDP were challenging the outcome of our election in Ekiti. If we should have the election again 100 times, the outcome will only get worse for them.” He said.
Faparusi, congratulated the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for fighting a good fight and winning.
He, urged Asiwaju Tinubu, not to relent in his effort to extend hands of fellowship to other candidates that contested the election with him to foster national unity and reconciliations of Nigerians.
