#Nigeriadecides: President Muhammadu Buhari has acknowledged the results of Saturday’s Presidential election in Katsina State which saw the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) winning in the state.
The president, in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu said that the situation points to the advancement of democracy in the country.
“Within Nigeria, the results reveal democracy’s ripening in our country. Never had the electoral map shifted so drastically in our cycle. In the presidential elections, states in all regions across the nation changed colour. Some amongst you may have noticed my home town amongst them.
“The winning candidate did not carry his own home state either. That happens during a competitive election. Votes and those they cast them cannot be taken for granted.
“There is no doubt the people’s decision has been rendered in the results we look at today,” he said.
