The All Progressives Congress has set up a reconciliation committee to meet with the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi of the Labour Party and other aggrieved candidates of political parties who contested last Saturday’s presidential election.
The committee, according to the Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, is to resolve their displeasure and ensure all parties work together with the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, for the growth of Nigeria.
The Independent National Electoral Commission had on Wednesday declared Tinubu winner of the February 25 presidential election.
Akeredolu disclosed this in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, on Wednesday.
He said, “The President-elect has set up committees to meet with the gentlemen who contested in the election for us to start the healing process. I belong to one of the committees. We are going to meet them and appeal to them so that we can work together.
He also described the election as the freest ever in Nigeria.
“This is an election that was not padded. People who voted were counted, that is the way I see it. It’s not one which shows millions of votes. You can see the candidates, everyone won 12 states each; it had never been like that before.”
