Saraki
Senate
President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has stated that in spite of
the reported inadequacies that attended last Saturday’s
Presidential and National Assembly elections in Kwara State, he is
wishing the candidates who emerged from the election the best of
luck.
Dr.
Saraki in a statement signed by his Special Adviser (Media and
Publicity), Yusuph Olaniyonu stated that while the election was
generally peaceful there are inadequacies like the card readers not
used in over 70 percent of the polling units while there were
multiple voting, over-voting and other discrepancies that were
reported by agents of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) across
the state. He added that the state chapter of his party will take a
position on the right response to these inadequacies.
“However,
whatever the final outcome of the election, I wish the candidates
that have emerged all the best in their attempts to serve our people.
It is my prayers that the good people of Kwara State will always have
the best from any government both at state and federal levels.
“As
a product of a family and a political structure that is, from its
foundation, devoted to the service and development of our state and
its people, it is my wish that our people will always have a good
deal at all times. The new development will even provide the people
the opportunity to compare and contrast. After all, the people who
have emerged from last Saturday’s election are not my enemies. They
are fellow Kwarans.
“As
we prepare for the March 9, 2019Governorship and House of
Assembly elections, let me reiterate my position that the candidates
of the PDP in the election represent the best materials for our dear
State, Kwara. Therefore, I enjoin our people to come out en mass on
Election Day and vote for them. I am going to work with our party
leaders to further sell the PDP candidates to the general public.
“I
thank all Nigerians for their goodwill and to enjoin all of us that
as we patiently await the outcome of the Presidential election, we
pray for peace, unity and genuine development in our country. It is
also our prayers that at all times, the wish of the people will
always prevail in the choice of the leadership and the electorate
will always enjoy the benefit of good governance”, Saraki stated.
