The Presidency on Monday urged the Peoples Democratic Party to accept its defeat in Saturday’s gubernatorial elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states with grace.A statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said that rather than accept defeat, the PDP is engaged in accusation of results fabrication.
“It has now become standard procedure for the party to challenge any poll that does not return its candidates. Election is good when the PDP wins. The opposite is the case if any party other than the PDP wins.” he saidHe added “In disparaging every unfavourable result, they disgrace themselves by casting aspersion on the entire system.“The February 2019 election saw the loss of five All Progressives Congress, APC governors. The government accepted the results.
“In rejecting the results as PDP has done, this reflection does not happen. Instead, the electorate gets mudslinging. Improvement is not sought, but cries of victimization; this is not an atmosphere in which democratic debate can thrive.
