Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has conceded that the presidential and national assembly elections on February 25 were flawed.
Adamu addressed during the APC National Working Committee meeting on Monday evening, alongside Bola Tinubu, the President-elect, Kashim Shettima, the Vice President-elect, and members-elect of the National Assembly.
The closed-door meeting began about 2.50 p.m. in the State House Banquet Hall in Abuja.
Addressing at the ceremony, Adamu thanked all elected political officeholders, saying that they deserved the joy of triumph after winning the elections on February 25.
“I wholeheartedly congratulate all the excellent men and women chosen,” Adamu stated. I salute each and every one of you. You are the new Nigeria team. The weight of our national unity, peace, and growth will fall on your shoulders as a team beginning May 29 this year.
“It is reasonable and honorable to say that the elections on February 25 were not ideal. We didn’t go out to hold flawless elections.
“There have been no perfect elections in history. We set out, like all other democratic nations, to have free, fair, and trustworthy elections. This is what we did.
“According to the results of the general elections held on February 25, 2023, as published by the electoral umpire, INEC, the APC won the presidency clean and clear, as well as a majority in both chambers of the legislature.”
