Presidency hails endorsement of 2019 elections by presidential candidates

The presidency has commended purported endorsement of the 2019 presidential elections as free, fair and credible by 60 presidential candidates and chairmen of their political parties.

The presidential candidates, therefore, urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and others challenging the election outcome to accept defeat with grace and maturity.

Reacting to a media briefing by the Joint Forum, the presidency in a statement issued by Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, assured that President Buhari would review the Electoral Act as advised by the candidates.

“We are encouraged by the patriotism of the Presidential Candidates expressed in clear and matured language. We are convinced that, regardless of our different political persuasions, we can work together to improve electoral integrity in Nigeria,” the statement added.
