Ekiti: Atiku urges PDP supporters to remain peaceful, orderly ‘as we determine the next step’

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had an excellent candidate in Prof. Kolapo Olusola Eleka in the Ekiti State governorship election and gave solid support to the state chapter of the party.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Sunday morning, announced Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election.
Narrow as his victory may have been and irregularities notwithstanding, Atiku urged all PDP supporters in Ekiti State to remain peaceful and orderly and cooperate with the party at the state and national levels as they determine the next steps.
He commended the PDP candidate “who has shown great restraint and stands in solidarity with Governor Ayodele Fayose whose commitment to the people of Ekiti continues to inspire Nigerians beyond the state”.
“We will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with them through these difficult times” Atiku said.
