Election results: APC warns PDP, LP not to overheat polity

Date:

By Ikechukwu Okaforadi

Festus Keyamo, SAN, the spokesperson of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council of the ruling All Progressives Party, APC, has warned the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Labour Party, LP, to stop overheating the polity with remarks on the yet-to-be-announced Saturday’s election.
In a statement to journàlists on Sunday, Keyamo cautioned opposition supporters to be wary of comments capable of causing post-election violence.
He appealed to PDP, LP and other parties to respect the peace accord they signed before the presidential election.
Keyamo urged that all parties allow INEC to do its constitutionally assigned responsibility without intimidation.
He called on the international observers and communities not to be distracted.
“We have all campaigned hard and strongly. The Nigerian people have listened to all of us and made their decisions. Now is the time to hear the voices of Nigerians as the results are released and not our own voices. The body officially designated to reflect the voices of Nigerians is the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). No Party can bully them by threatening to do its bidding. Neither will the APC be cowed into silence by the disgusting antics of the opposition parties,” he stated.
