The Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dr Obadiah Mailafia, has expressed his warm congratulations to the winner of the recently concluded presidential election, President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Dr Obadiah, whose party, ADC, came third, according to him, with little or no money and no campaign resources, says “We celebrate this victory for the people. The election process was by no means perfect.”
He noted that “There were egregious anomalies in several polling stations. And we severely frown at the post-election provocative behaviour of youths carrying daggers, sticks and other dangerous weapons in the streets, all in the name of celebration.
However, the ADC presidential candidate said, “Despite these challenges, we remain democrats and we remain fervent believers in the New Nigeria Project.
“It is in this spirit that I congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari and wish him better health and more wisdom as he prepares to steer the affairs of our great country during another four years.
“Now is the time to rally our people beyond the narrow confines of party; and to reinvent our Nigeria as a prosperous and responsible democracy governed by the precepts of the rule of law, human rights, social justice, progress, enlightenment and solidarity.”
