I look forward to a successful transition, says Atiku

Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says he looks forward to a successful transition.

Atiku said this after voting at Ajiya 012 polling unit, Yola in Adamawa state.

He was accompanied by some of his aides and Titi, his wife.

When asked what his expectation was in the election, the presidential candidate said: “I look forward to a successful transition.”

Asked if he would accept the outcome of an election not in his favour, he said: “I am a democrat.”

Earlier when President Muhammadu Buhari voted at his ward in Daura, Katsina state, he refused to comment on whether he would accept the election if he is voted out.

Buhari had said: “I’ll congratulate myself… I’ll be the winner.”

Expressing satisfaction with the turn out of voters, Atiku appealed to security agents and INEC official to be transparent.

Boss Mustapha, secretary of the government of the federation (SGF), who also cast his vote at Gwadabawa polling units, expressed satisfaction with the massive turn out of voters.

He said the attitude displayed at most the units indicate that Nigerians have now known the importance of voting.

Mohammed Jibrila, govenor of Adamawa and governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), voted at Abu Muwachi of Kolore ward, Mubi north local government area.

He also expressed satisfaction with the massive turn out of voters.
