A senator and former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has urged members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state to accept the outcome of Saturday’s presidential and national elections and eschew violence.It came after the leadership of the party in the state rejected the results of the elections as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission .
“We cannot accept such inflated figures and that is our stand,” he said. “So we will go back and analyse the issue to know the next line of action to take.” Mr Kwankwaso also expressed dissatisfaction with the outcome of the elections but appealed to PDP supporters not to take the law into their hands.
“I am appealing to PDP members to remain calm, not take law in their hands as a result of the party’s performance in the presidential and National Assembly elections. What happened in 2011 is still fresh in our mind, where some youths lost their lives while jubilating over election victory.
