IBB,Abdulsalam Urge Nigerians To Accept Result Of Presidential Election

Former military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, and General Abdulsalami Abubakar have called on Nigerians to embrace peace and accept the results of the election, adding that Nigeria must survive.
The Generals who made this known after accreditation at their Uphill polling unit said that the people should be peaceful as violence was not worth it.
While Babangida said he hopes the election would be peaceful urging the people to accept whatever the outcome of the election as announced by the electoral body would be, Abubakar called on the people to go about electioneering peacefully.
“Without peace, development cannot be achieved. The people should be peaceful. For democracy to strive, they should embrace peace.”
Niger state Governor, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, while commending the electoral process said the use of the Smart Card Reader machine was an unnecessary issue adding that he did not see the value of the card reader for the election.
According to him, “Out of my 10 fingers, only one was caught but I had to go through all the ten fingers. I don’t know the value this might have added to this election.
“I have my PVC, there is a picture of me in the papers and I believe with all the agents of all the parties here, this might just be an unnecessary issue.”
