Festus Keyamo, SAN, the spokesman for the governing All Progressives Congress’s Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Committee, has asked the ruling party’s supporters to be gracious in victory and rejoice without denigrating their political opponents after Bola Tinubu was named President-elect.
Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, named APC presidential candidate Tinubu the victor of the 2023 presidential election and President-elect earlier on Wednesday.
Before the results were declared, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the Labour Party accused INEC of anomalies in the collation of the results.
The opposition parties also demanded that the election results be annulled that Yakubu resign.
Following the jubilations that followed Tinubu’s victory, Keyamo urged his fellow party supporters not to taunt opponents in their celebrations.
Keyamo wrote on Twitter on Wednesday: “As we celebrate, we must do so without taunting our opponents who are great patriots.
“After all the vitriols during the campaigns, this is a time to embrace ourselves for nation-building. At the end of the day, we all mean well for our country, though from different perspectives.”
