President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday
picked holes in the results of the March 28 presidential election,
saying “the Peoples Democratic Party couldn’t have got those kinds of
scores” it had in some places.
Jonathan, who spoke shortly after
receiving the report of the Senator Ahmadu Ali-led PDP Presidential
Campaign Organisation at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, however
advised that since the general elections were over, the country must be
allowed to move forward.
He added that apart from himself that
quickly conceded defeat to the All Progressives Congress candidate,
Muhammadu Buhari, many PDP members also made sacrifices because they
were persecuted in the course of electioneering.
The President said, “The problem is not
whether we lost the elections, that is history, but how do we
consolidate our party and move forward? If we are committed and we work
hard, definitely the PDP will bounce back.
