The Presidency welcomed endorsement of 2019 Presidential Elections, described as free, fair and credible, by 60 presidential candidates and chairmen of their parties, urging opposition to accept loss with grace and maturity.
According to a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu in Abuja, the Presidency was reacting to the press conference of the Joint Forum of the candidates.
He said the Presidency assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari would look into the Electoral Act as the candidates had advised.
Shehu restated that the success of democracy does not only depend on electoral laws, but also on behaviour, character and attitude of politicians.
He also reiterated that do-or-die politics is a threat to the success of electoral laws and democracy. And you don’t need to kill in order to serve the people.
