Mr Akufo-Addo commended the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party, for their vigorous, well-fought campaigns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am confident that their reactions to the results of the election will reinforce the boundaries of Nigerian democracy, and consolidate the peace and stability of Nigeria, Africa\u2019s giant,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
