Saraki congratulated the winners in the recent February 23rd, 2019 elections.......wrote
Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has stated that in
spite of the reported inadequacies that attended last Saturday’s
Presidential and National Assembly elections in Kwara State, he is
wishing the candidates who emerged from the election the best of luck.
Dr. Saraki in a statement signed by his Special Adviser (Media and
Publicity), Yusuph Olaniyonu stated
that while the election was
generally peaceful there were inadequacies like the card readers not
used in over 70 percent of the polling units while there was also
multiple-voting, over-voting and other discrepancies that were reported
by agents of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) across the state. He
added that the state chapter of his party will take a position on the
right response to these inadequacies.
“However, whatever the
final outcome of the election, I wish the candidates that have emerged
all the best in their attempts to serve our people. It is my prayer that
the good people of Kwara State will always have the best from any
government both at the state and federal levels.
“As a product of
a family and a political structure that is, from its foundation,
devoted to the service and development of our state and its people, it
is my wish that our people will always have a good deal at all times.
The new development will even provide the people the opportunity to
compare and contrast. After all, the people who have emerged from last
Saturday’s election are not my enemies. They are fellow Kwarans.
“As we prepare for the March 9th, 2019 Governorship and House of
Assembly elections, let me reiterate my position that the candidates of
the PDP in the election represent the best materials for our dear State,
Kwara. Therefore, I enjoin our people to come out en masse on Election
Day and vote for them. I am going to work with our party leaders to
further sell the PDP candidates to the general public.
“I thank
all Nigerians for their goodwill and to enjoin all of us that as we
patiently await the outcome of the Presidential election, we pray for
peace, unity and genuine development in our country. It is also our
prayers that at all times, the wish of the people will always prevail in
the choice of the leadership and the electorate will always enjoy the
benefit of good governance”, Saraki stated.
