The elders and youths of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Benue South senatorial district have congratulated the president-elect Gen Muhammadu Buhari, for a well-deserved victory.
This is just as Gov Gabriel Suswam saluted General Buhari for his emergence at the polls, which he said was the will of God to ensure that peace endures in the country as against the predictions of doom by scaremongers.
This was contained in a statement signed by the governor’s media director, James Uloko.
The APC elders further stated that the presidential and parliamentary elections marked a watershed in the quest for a credible, free and fair election to effect a change for a more progressive leadership.
Speaking to newsmen on behalf of the elders in Otukpo town of the state, Mr Adoi Ojogbane noted that “using the ballot paper, the most potent ingredient of democracy, the people of Benue South Senatorial Zone have shown a commendable determination to register their votes and the choice of credible leaders that would pilot the affairs of this great nation, Nigeria to greater heights for the next four years.”
The elders, however, condemned in strong terms the alleged coercion, inducement of electoral officials and falsification of election results, adding that they have totally rejected the election results as announced by INEC in the Benue South senatorial zone.
Describing the election of Buhari as timely, the opposition elders insisted that the administration of Goodluck Jonathan failed to tackle the enormous security and economic challenges, as well as massive corruption which they said caused serious underdevelopment.
