The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public
Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has congratulated Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
on his victory at the March 28 presidential election.
He said it was the will of God that the All Progressives Congress produced the president of the country in 2015.
Okupe, however, said on his Facebook page on Thursday that if it took Buhari 30 years to come back to power, it would take the Peoples Democratic Party much less to do so.
He said PDP was bowed, but not cowed.
He wrote, “It has pleased the Almighty God to give victory
to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the APC and the
President-elect. We accept this as the will of God and I personally
congratulate the General on his success.
“We have run a good race and fought a gallant battle. We
are bowed but not cowed. We lost the crown but we gained a trophy. The
PDP family must not despair; if it took General Buhari 30 years to come
back to power, it should take us much less. For the opportunities we
have had, we give God all the glory.
“The strife is over for the next four years only. We
rejoice with APC and the people of Nigeria on the process we have
jointly made in our democratic journey. For our democracy to endure, it
is important that the winner clearly emerges while the loser concedes
with equanimity.
“Certainly, we will be back. We will overcome this defeat and rise to power and glory in the twinkle of an eye.”
