The
Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has congratulated Nigeria’s
President-Elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) on his victory at the polls
saying his tenacity has helped restore hope in the future of multi-party
democracy in the country.
A statement
issued by CNPP Secretary General, Chief Willy Ezugwu urged General Buhari to
include further expansion of the democratic space on his agenda while he should
also prioritize strengthening the independence of INEC.
“Your
tenacity and commitment to offering yourself for service is a lesson for all
Nigeria as you have proven that Nigeria can achieve anything the citizens set
their minds on achieving. We are rest assured that this can do spirit will take
the country to the next level under your leadership.
“Events
from your party’s primary that produced you as its flag bearer up to the
Presidential Election have shown that Nigeria’s democracy can mature faster
than we all anticipate. We urge you to continue this democratic progress both
as it relates to internal democracy in political parties and the independence
of INEC.” The statement said.
Meanwhile,
the conference also commended President Goodluck Jonathan for his statesmanship
that helped to immediately douse the tension that had built up in the country
prior to the election.
“President
Goodluck Jonathan must be commended for his sportsmanship and statesmanship in
immediately congratulating the winner of the election. He has proven that
Nigeria remains one indivisible entity under God as he effectively prevented
people from cashing in on his loss to unleash chaos on the land.
“Beyond
reforming the electoral process in Nigeria, President Jonathan has set the
standard for the level of statesmanship expected in future political contests
in the land.” CNPP said.
