‘There’s life after elections’ — Fayemi asks Nigerians to shun inflammatory statements | TheCable ElectionResults NigerianElections2023
Kayode Fayemi, the former governor of Ekiti state, has asked Nigerians to exercise restraint and patience in the aftermath of the presidential electionIn a statement issued on Monday by Ahmad Sajoh, head of his media office, Fayemi said citizens should resist making inflammatory comments or taking actions that may lead to the breakdown of the law.
“Diversity and plurality of beliefs, ideas, and attitudes are the bedrock of representative democracy. An election will probably not be necessary if we all have the same choices.‘’I, therefore, urge all Nigerians to be calm and not to make inflammatory statements or take actions that may lead to the breakdown of law and order. We should allow the Independent National Electoral Commission officials to tally and announce the results.
‘’I appeal to political leaders and actors to exercise restraint at this point and not to incite or encourage their followers to take the laws into their hands.“Elections are a process and they don’t necessarily end with the announcement of results on election day.
