We Didn’t Set Out To Conduct Perfect Elections – APC Chairman Defends Feb. 25 Election Result
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu has said that though the February 25, 2023 elections were imperfect, it was conducted freely, fairly and credibly.
Adamu while delivering a speech at the parley of APC National Working Committee with Bola Tinubu, the President-elect, Kashim Shettima, the Vice President-elect, and members-elect of the National Assembly, on Monday, argued that no democratic nation in the world has ever conducted a perfect election.
“I very heartily congratulate all the distinguished men and women elected. I salute you all. You’re the new team Nigeria. From May 29 this year, the burden of our national unity, peace, and development will rest on your shoulders as a team.
“It’s fair and honourable to admit that the Feb. 25 elections were not perfect. We didn’t set out to conduct perfect elections.
“World history has no instances of perfect elections. Like all other democratic nations, we set out to conduct free, fair, and credible elections. This we did.
“From the results of Feb. 25, 2023, general elections announced so far by the electoral umpire, INEC, the APC won the presidency, clean and clear, and a majority in both chambers of the National Assembly
” Adamu said.
