#NigeriaDecides: PDP finally congratulates Buhari

by Ranti Joseph

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) congratulated Muhammadu Buhari for winning the March 28 Presidential Election.

It said if the outcome of the election, which its candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, lost, was the wish of the people, it would respect it.

This was contained in a statement by its National Chairman, Adamu Mua’zu, in Abuja on Thursday. His position appears to be at variance with the views expressed by agents of the party during the collation of the votes in Abuja early this week.

One of the party’s agents, Bello Fadile had said the party would challenge the outcome of the election at the election petitions tribunal.

Mua’zu, in his statement, also said the party noticed some irregularities in the conduct of the election. He said such irregularities would be channelled through the appropriate quarters.

The former governor of Bauchi State nevertheless went ahead to congratulate Buhari for winning the election. “We also congratulate the APC flag bearer, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, for his resilience and victory in this election while wishing him success in the onerous task of leading our nation once again,” he said.
