The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku
Abubakar, says he is looking forward to a successful transition after the
presidential election.
Mr Abubakar said this minutes after casting his vote at his polling unit
of Ajiya in Yola North Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Mr Abubakar was reacting to questions from journalists on his assessment
of the elections.
He said “I am excited there is a large turnout of voters and I am hoping
that this election will end free and fair.”
Asked if he will concede defeat if he loses, Mr Abubakar responded “I’m a
Democrat individual unlike others. I look forward to a successful
transition.”
Mr Abubakar was apparently reacting to President Muhammadu Buhari’s
response when asked the same question earlier.
