Kashim Shettima, the vice president-elect, says the presidential election is the freest and fairest ever conducted in the country.
Shettima called on Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), to accept the outcome of the poll.
Speaking in an interview with Hausa on Wednesday, he said it is important for them to “join forces to rescue our country” to avert anarchy.
“In my understanding, this is the freest and fair election ever conducted like the one on Saturday. It was conducted according to what the law says,” Shettima said.
