My attacks on Buhari, APC, not personal – Fani-Kayode
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.
