People’s Democratic Party, PDP Board of Trustees Secretary, Senator Walid Jibrin said that no one, except God could have stopped the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari’s victory at the recently concluded presidential election.
According to Jibrin, Buhari’s victory came as a ‘Tsunami’ with such terrific strength that made APC contestants for various positions win easily, especially the Northern region. He urged all PDP members to accept the will of God as power and Tsunami that came from God.
He however said in order for PDP to come out of this defeat, it is important that the party developed new strategies.
The BoT Secretary who also reacted to an allegation that top members of the PDP in Nasarawa state collected huge sums of money from Governor Tanko Al-Makura in order to support him, warned the Nasarawa PDP to stop peddling falsehood and start thinking of how to recapture power from APC in 2019.
Jibrin said his decision to congratulate General Buhari and Governor Al-Makura was to show statesmanship and patriotism as an elder statesman.
He noted that what he did was what the President of the senate, Senator David Mark did when he congratulated General Buhari and visited him.
