Buhari urged the governor-elect and APC members to be
magnanimous in victory as the incoming administration prepares to
unfold a new lease of life for the people of the state through
purposeful and responsible governance.

He commended the people of the state for their matured and
peaceful conduct as they made their choice using the power of the
ballot.

“In all this, the people of Ekiti State have spoken loud
and clear, and democracy has won again,” the President
said.

The President also lauded the Independent National Electoral
Commission for adequate preparations and for displaying
impartiality throughout the process.

He applauded security agencies for creating the right atmosphere
for the relatively peaceful conduct of the polls and urged them to
sustain the peace.

Buhari also commended local and international observers and
monitors for their vigilance and contributions towards the
relatively hitch-free exercise.

The statement added, “The President urges the losers to be
gallant in conceding defeat and use constitutional means to settle
whatever grievances they may have rather than resort to
self-help.

“President Buhari appeals to all stakeholders in Ekiti State to
work towards a successful transition to a new administration in the
higher interest of not only the State but the entire nation and its
fledgling democratic experience.”
