Bauchi state governor, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar, has described the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari as a vote of confidence on the president and policies of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led administration.
The governor, in a statement signed by his press secretary, Abubakar Al-Sadique, said that democracy is about the will of the Almighty God adding that Nigerians have expressed their will through the ballot box.
“We thank the Almighty Allah for the peaceful way in which the elections were conducted. President Buhari means well for this nation and this year’s presidential election is a vote of confidence in the change agenda of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“The election confirms that both the president and indeed the nation are on the right course of national rebirth. On the part of Government and people of Bauchi state, I assure President Buhari of the unalloyed loyalty and support of people and government of Bauchi state as he moves the nation to the next level,” he said.
Governor Abubakar therefore called on the opposition particularly the PDP to accept the outcome and support the president to provide a better socio-economic direction to the country.
He particularly urged the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his party to accept the 2019 presidential election outcome in good faith and support the Buhari-led administration in the task of nation building.
He also urged party supporters especially the youth to be extra careful in celebrating the victory to guard against untoward outcomes.
He also called on party faithful to come out en masse to vote for APC candidates in the forthcoming gubernatorial and state assembly elections on March 9, 2019.
