Accept Defeat With Dignity And Get Set For 2023 Presidential Election — Fayose Tells Atiku
The former Governor of Ekiti, Chief Ayodele Fayose, has advised the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar, to accept defeat and start preparing for 2023 presidential election.
Fayose made this statement today after the election petition tribunal affirmed the victory of President Buhari in the February 23 presidential election.
Fayose said, “Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is mature, civilised and a devout Muslim, and so I want to tell him to embrace peace. He must accept defeat and let peace reign in Nigeria. I call on him to start focusing on 2023 and he should not allow the bad eggs within our party to push him to the extreme.”
Fayose went further to say that that he never believe in the ” server results ” that Atiku premised his petition on.
“As a law abiding citizen, I have chosen not to make preemptive comments on the ‘server results’ that Atiku bottomed his case on. Those figures were concocted and manufactured. But like I have said, 2023 should be his focus’ Fayose said
