No Riot After Election Results, Buhari Warns Nigerians

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday urged Nigerians against any form of violence and riot after the announcement of the presidential election results.

The special adviser to Buhari on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, disclosed this in a statement, following the signing signing of the Second Peace Accord for the 2023 Presidential elections at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.

Buhari said, ”Any aggrieved candidate should resort to the established judicial processes, and we must have the confidence to trust our legal systems.

”I once again ask the candidates to abide by the spirit and letter of the Accord they have signed today.

“Let me remind all Nigerians not for the first time that this is the only country we have, and we must do everything to keep it safe, united and peaceful.

”There should be no riots or acts of violence after the announcement of the election results. All grievances, personal or institutional, should be channeled to the relevant courts.”
