“The Ekiti election is a reflection and determination" says Jonathan’s aide
Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on
youth and student matters, Comrade Jude Imagwe, yesterday
called on politicians to emulate Governor Kayode Fayemi of the
Ekiti State.
The aide said by accepting the results of the last Saturday’s
governorship election, Governor Fayemi won himself a place in
the country’s history.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Convention Planning
Committee of the National Association of Nigerian Students
(NANS) in Abuja, Imagwe said “Accepting defeat in a free and
fair election is an act that must be emulated by all political
players.”
“The Ekiti election is a reflection and determination of Mr
President to have a transformed electoral process,” he said.
“Ekiti people have redefined democracy. I will say, Governor
Kayode Fayemi is a face of democracy in Nigeria and I am
picking Fayemi as the democracy man of the year.”
Imagwe appealed to politicians as well as aspirants in the
forthcoming NANS convention in Markurdi, Benue
State to learn from Fayemi and accept defeat whenever it comes.
Earlier, the NANS President, Comrade Yinka Gbadebo, while
inaugurating a 36-man Committee for the convention, charged
the members on “free, fair and credible election that will usher
in the next leadership of NANS.”
