The Chairmanship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the February 21 Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) election has said he will not challenge the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Chukwu made this known on Tuesday in a congratulatory message to APC candidate, Christopher Maikalangu, who was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He stated that he would not contest the outcome of the election for any reason whatsoever, explaining that elections were about service rather than personal ambition.
According to him, the poll was peaceful and orderly, noting that the safety recorded during the campaign and on election day was a victory for democracy.
Chukwu stressed that elections remained a means to serve the people and that service could not be forced, urging aggrieved persons to seek redress only through lawful means.
“I pledge support for initiatives that would ensure the success of the incoming administration.
“I congratulate Maikalangu and urge him to be magnanimous in victory by governing with humility and inclusiveness.
“AMAC belongs to all residents, irrespective of political, ethnic or religious affiliations, and the new administration should reflect fairness, unity and commitment to the common good,” he said.
