Speaking to State House correspondents after a dinner hosted by President Buhari for some APC members at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Boss Mustapha, who spoke for the Presidency, said the Constitution and the Electoral Act made provisions for any candidate dissatisfied with election result to seek redress in court.
He said: “Looking into the future of the country, the President is very clear about what he wants to do. He will stand on the three pivot points that he pushed forward in 2015 — securing the nation, diversifying the economy and also fighting corruption with all intensity. While congratulating the President and Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, on the victory at the poll, Enang told those celebrating the success to be temperate and humble so as not to do anything that could infuriate the opposition.
“The real winner in this election are the Nigerian voters, and we are conscious that about 11 million people voted for the other party, while 15 million voted for our party. He said in the forthcoming governorship and House of Assembly elections, tempers would likely go high because the positions are closer to the people.
“Finally, I will urge the opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which has lost, to be measured in their statements and reactions and their decisions. If they have grievance, let them pursue the appropriate constitutional channel of a petition.”Similarly, the All Progressives Congress, APC, has promised to meet the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in court, saying he was never destined to be Nigeria’s president.
