PDP congratulates Buhari, alleges irregularities.

The national leadership of the Peoples
Democratic Party has congratulated Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari(retd.) for winning the
March 28 Presidential Election.
It said if the outcome of the election, which its
candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, lost,
was the wishes of the people, it would respect
it.
The party’s position was contained in a
statement by its National Chairman, Alhaji
Adamu Mua’zu, in Abuja on Thursday.
His position appears to be at variance with the
views expressed by agents of the party during
the collation of the votes in Abuja early this
week.
One of the party’s agents, Col. Bello Fadile
(retd.), had said the party would challenge the
outcome of the election at the election
petitions tribunal.
Mua’zu, in his statement, also said the party
noticed some irregularities in the conduct of
the election.
The party’s complaints on such irregularities,
he said, would be channelled through the
appropriate quarters.
The former governor of Bauchi State
nevertheless went ahead to congratulate
Buhari for winning the election.
He said, “We also congratulate the APC flag
bearer, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari, for his
resilience and victory in this election while
wishing him success in the onerous task of
leading our nation once again.”
