The former vice president stressed that the Election Day witnessed the implementation of grand theft of the people’s will, adding: “I am not one for hyperbole, so I will just let the facts speak for themselves.” He stated: “As this was occurring, we saw another statistical impossibility where the real numbers tallied increased astronomically in Borno State by an almost miraculous 82 per cent in the midst of insecurity.
“As I have always said, this year, is my three decades in Nigeria’s struggle for democracy. And this is the worst election in those 30 years. “Your problem is not with the Nigerian people; your quarrel is with those who stole their mandate. Please do not punish the people by divesting from Nigeria.”Reacting to Buhari’s emergence Wednesday, the Arewa Consultative Forum urged Atiku to concede victory to Buhari.
“Such concession on the part of the main challenger would be in the overall interest of Nigeria and place him among global democrats.” “We equally salute other stakeholders, especially the National Peace Committee of General Abdulsalami Abubakar, foreign and domestic election observers and many others for their wise counsel and commitment to peaceful election,” it said even as it also appreciated the efforts of security agencies in making the elections relatively peaceful.
