Yahaya Kwande, a close associate of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has advised him to call and congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari.

Kwande, Grand Patron of the Waziri of the Adamawa Solidarity Vanguard, gave the advice on Tuesday in reference to the ongoing announcement of the presidential results by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

According to the results announced so far by the electoral body, President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is leading by a wide margin and is favourite to win.

A press statement personally signed by Kwande reads: "Results so far announced from Saturday’s presidential election have confirmed the choice made by Nigerians. They have resoundingly elected President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election.

"Even though, I am a long time friend and associate of his closest rival, His Excellency Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), I heartily congratulate President Buhari for his win and the confidence Nigerians reposed in him by asking him to serve another four years in office.

"By the same token, I call on my friend, associate and brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to pick up his phone and make the call to congratulate the President-elect. It is imperative that he toes the path of honour and do the needful to save the country of any conflagration. Our recent history under former President Goodluck Jonathan proved that this simple act has the full potential to keep Nigeria peaceful.

"Providence has given Atiku the uncommon favour of having his Jonathan moment by ending the long wait and apprehension as Nigerians await the final tally, which has by the way become a matter of symbolism since the outcome is already known.

"The atmosphere has become unnecessarily tense as those who failed Atiku politically continue to give his party and supporters false hope even in the face of a harsh reality. Only the Wazirin of Adamawa has the capacity to defuse this unhealthy tension and save this country from any implosion as some overzealous persons are waiting to make a mockery of our democratic process and further shatter the bonds of unity that holds our country together. I implore again that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar makes that call before the enemies of Nigeria exploit his delay to do the unthinkable."

Yahaya also advised President Buhari to be magnanimous in victory by ordering his supporters to desist from making derisive and derogatory comments that could provoke supporters of his opponents, who are still trying to process their losses at the polls.

Atiku knows within himself that he has lost the election. All these noise and shakara is just to save face.

let Buhari congratulate himself for his shameless rigging..not challenging this electoral malpractice will set Nigeria Back many years ..

let the country keep boiling above 100 degrees. The will of the people cannot be subverted just like that

U are his close friend, but rather than call him on his phone, na for press release u dey call him. Dis one is already seeking appointment.

Apc new tactics is to tell atiku to call. They dont want him to challenge the results as that would expose the lie in the so called integrity

Pierced:

I know your problem.

Atiku should not cause this is day light robbery

dguyindcorner:

I know your problem.

What is it?
Tell me so that I will tell him

Hmmm

2019 election is actually between 2 northerners.

The northerners have decided on who they prefer between their 2 sons.

But from the look of things, the people that want to be sacrificed because of these 2 main contestants are not northerners.

They will tell you the card readers were compromised in favour of one party.

What I don't understand is how these card readers in South East refuse to be compromised.

Did buhari called Obasanjo,late yaradua and Jonathan to congratulate them when he lost to them?

hmmmmm. History student

"Yahaya also advised President Buhari to be magnanimous in victory by ordering his supporters to desist from making derisive and derogatory comments that could provoke supporters of his opponents, who are still trying to process their losses at the polls".
........

He would not call, he must spend d remaining dollar in court to Nigeria charge and bail lawyers

He still has one true friend...that's commendable...

He'll be fine with FnF..the hardest times are the initial three months after that everything would be normal again...he should ask Bubu who had been in his shoes so many times in the past.

He will go to Court, OBJ will push him to do so.
