Following the brewing tension as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) continued the announcement of the elections result, the major opposition party, All Progressive Congress has told its mammoth supporters what to do.
National Secreatry of the APC, Lai Mohammed
The opposition party gave the instruction in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, a copy obtained by Vanguard.
The party in the statement appealed to all its members and supporters across the country to remain calm and peaceful, and to resist all acts of provocation as they await the results of the presidential elections.
APC which acknowledged that the post-election moment, when all Nigerians are eagerly awaiting the results of the elections, is a tense moment for the country therefore urged its members not to do anything that would disturb the peace or cause disunity.
“We must begin the very critical process of healing all the wounds inflicted by the rancorous and divisive electioneering campaign, and rebuilding trust among our unprecedentedly-divided people,” the party said.
The party reminded all its unwavering members and supporters that the agents of disunity are on the prowl, ready to trigger trouble and destabilise the country, hence they must not play into the hands of such people.
“To all our members, supporters and indeed all Nigerians, we urge you to please remain calm and show equanimity if you must celebrate,” the party said.
However, tension has continued to mount as the Independent National Electoral Commission gets closer to the concluding the part of the collation and announcement of the presidential election results.
As the elections results were being announced on Monday, workers at the Lagos State Government Secretariat fled their offices following rumoured attack from thugs hired by politicians.
The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) had earlier accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ofconspiring with the army, police and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to rewrite the election results last Saturday polls.
