"Thank your lucky stars, Jonathan accepted election results" Fani Kayode to APC

In a statement, on Friday, the  Director of  Media and Publicy, PDPPCO,  Chief Femi Fani-Kayode   said, “They should thank their lucky stars that we have a President who saw fit to concede victory and behave like a gentleman rather than cause a stir by rejecting the results and going to court.”

He also dispelled rumours stirred up by the APC that PDP was trying to rig the April 11th gubernatorial elections in favour of the party's candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje saying that APC is only in panic mode because they know they would lose this election adding that this is the first time in APC's 16 years rule in Lagos that they are facing a formidable opponent.

According to Vanguard Newspaper, he said: 

“Once again the APC has degenerated into a party of liars who have little or no shame. It is not true that the President has any rigging plan for Lagos and neither do we need any such plan because our party is very strong there.

“The problem that the APC has and the reason that they make such asinine and stupid allegations is because they actually believe that they own Lagos state and all those that live there.

“They are now in a state of panic because for the first time in 16 years they are facing a formidable challenge and they know that Jimi Agbaje of the PDP is likely to win. The truth is that there was no secret meeting in which rigging was planned by the President and neither is it true that materials were smuggled in to rig Lagos state.

“The only people that are interested in rigging and in milking any cash cows are the APC themselves and they can rest assured that we will resist them at all levels. We will not only keep them on their toes at the Federal level by being eternally vigilant but we will also provide them with the most aggressive, relentless, focused and assertive opposition that Nigeria has ever known.

“President Jonathan simply conceded defeat in the Presidential election but this does not in any way mean that we have lost our nerve and neither does it represent a capitulation of our convictions or a collapse of our firm resolve.
