As the results of Saturday’s presidential election are still being tallied, former governor of Ekiti State Ayodele Fayose has asked PDP candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to concede defeat.
Fayose, who is a member of the same party as the presidential candidate, suggested that Atiku take a sabbatical and move to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates while pleading with him to show maturity in accepting defeat.
This was revealed by the former governor of Ekiti in a tweet that he published on his verified Twitter account on Monday night.
The tweet read, “Our candidate, H.E. Atiku Abubakar (aka ‘Atiku is coming’) should accept defeat in maturity and retire peacefully to Dubai. At this juncture, may I say good night and good bye to all you represent.”
Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is yet to announce the winner of the election which was held on Saturday as collation is still ongoing.
With Atiku winning some states in some of the results released, he is trailing the candidate of the APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
