Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) as a dogged fighter, urging Nigerians to accept the outcome of the Saturday’s presidential election in good faith.
The governor also imposed a 7.30pm to 6am curfew on his state, starting from Tuesday. The governor said the curfew was to prevent violence that might arise after the declaration of the final results.
He said, “To me, Nigerians and democracy won. By this election, Nigerians have shown that democracy has come to stay in the country.
“I salute Nigerians, especially the great people of Ekiti State. I salute President Jonathan for laying the most solid foundation for democracy in Nigeria. And I salute Major General Buhari for being a resilient and dogged fighter.
“I urge Nigerians, irrespective of their ethnic, religious and political affiliations to respect the outcome of the election in the interest of peace, progress and development of the country.
“Nigeria as a country is greater than any individual or group and it is my plea that no one should do anything to rock the boat of peace in the country.”
