The spokesperson for President Goodluck Jonathan’s
campaign team, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Wednesday stated
that all his attacks against the president-elect,
Muhammadu Buhari, and his party, the All Progressives
Congress, during the electioneering, were what his job
required of him and not personal.
He also commended the APC campaign directorate for
doing something “they believe in”.
“There was absolutely nothing personal as regards this
Directorate or myself. I had nothing personal against
anybody. I was simply doing my job for which I have no
regrets and I wish them well and I sincerely hope that they
will take Nigeria to a level that we can all be proud of,” he
said.
Mr. Fani-Kayode also congratulated Mr. Buhari for his
victory and also commended President Jonathan for
conceding defeat.
“We start by saying that we commend and we congratulate
General Muhammadu Buhari for winning this election. We
also wish to commend our President, President Goodluck
Jonathan, for having the courage to concede that he has
lost the election at the earliest moment and also for being
able to stand up and rise above party politics and being
able to speak like a statesman,” he said.
The former Aviation Minister also prayed for peace in the
country and success for Mr. Buhari.
“May God grant each and everyone of us peace. May He
watch over our nation. May He guide our President for the
next two months whilst he is still in power and thereafter
and may He guide and lead the President-elect, General
Muhammadu Buhari, in the herculean task that lies ahead
for him.
“My prayer is that he brings our nation together, heals the
wounds and that he builds the bridges in terms of religion,
ethnicity and region that he needs to build in order for us to
make Nigeria a better place and to ensure that Nigeria
becomes a great country that she is destined to be,” he
said.
He called on Nigerians to continue to support the PDP,
despite losing the election.
He also asked for full cooperation to the incoming
administration “and to remember that we are first and
foremost Nigerians before anything else”.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said he had no regret for serving Mr.
Jonathan and the PDP. He also advised the PDP not to lose
hope.
“And having lost, it does not mean that it is the end to the
world, it just means that we need to re-group, re-organise
ourselves and begin the process all over again because
another elections will come in a few years’ time.
“And that is where we are today. We have conceded that we
have lost. We acknowledge the fact that we fought a good
fight. We do not have any fears about the future. We did the
right thing during the campaign. We have no regrets about
our candidate or the way in which we conducted our
campaign and we will live to fight another day,” he said. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
