“There can never be any losers if everyone joins hands in working together to improve the well-being of the people. It is imperative that the citizens cutting across all political divides eschew violence and animosity in order to safeguard the gains of the past.”  Atiku Abubakar.

The people of Kenya have done well so far with the election process. The announcement of the results and declaration of a winner is the crunch time.

This was the assertion of Nigeria’s former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, (1999-2007) Wazirin Adamawa in a statement he personally signed on Tuesday, 15^th August in Yola, capital of Adamawa state following the electoral victory of President-elect William Ruto of Kenya.

Atiku Abubakar, in his statement, stressed that, “even though a winner has emerged, and indeed has to emerge in an electoral contest of this nature, the people of Kenya and certainly its democracy is the greatest winner.”

“There can never be any losers if everyone joins hands in working together to improve the well-being of the people. It is imperative that the citizens cutting across all political divides eschew violence and animosity in order to safeguard the gains of the past.” He said.

According to the Peoples Democratic Party presidential flag bearer, “whatever issues there are about the election can always be resolved within the ambits of the law. As one, Kenyans will be the better for it.

“I congratulate President-elect William Ruto and acknowledge Raila Odinga for a closely fought contest.” He concluded.
