It is written not with ink, but through sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the last few months, people in Abuja have stood up and shared their beliefs, from the streets of Karshi to the busy markets of Wuse, from the crowded paths of Nyanya to the calm strength of Gui. For this, I lower my head in thanks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet it be known and written in history that what we saw in this election was more than just a race for a job; it was a powerful statement of pride from a people who will not give up on their future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have reviewed the outcome as announced. I truly believe, based on our long involvement and the strong spirit of our movement, that we have rightfully earned the people\u2019s trust and support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, I strongly reject the announced results because they do not show what the people of Abuja really want. Many people who voted are very unhappy with the result because they believe there were lots of problems with how the voting was done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese involve limiting people\u2019s freedom by setting a curfew; security forces threatening and attacking ADC party members; large-scale bribery in many areas to influence votes; and preventing people from voting because important election supplies arrived too late at key polling stations, like Kabusa, and others,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
