THE Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, on Wednesday, congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari for winning the Presidential elections, saying his victory was a testament to the acceptance of his people-oriented policies over the last four years.
He also commended the residents of the territory for the peaceful conduct of the February 23, 2019, Presidential and National Assembly elections throughout the FCT.
In a statement issued and signed by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr Anthony Ogunleye, a copy of which was made available to Tribune Online in Abuja, the minister noted with satisfaction that residents of the FCT performed their civic responsibility in an atmosphere characterized by peace and orderliness.
Malam Bello, therefore, enjoined the residents of the area to be restrained in their celebrations of the President’s victory and be mindful of their utterances and actions while expressing their elation.
While calling upon those that lost to accept the outcome of the polls as the will of the Almighty, the minister reminded them all that as the residents of the Center of Unity, they all had a responsibility to come together to build a capital city of our dreams.
The minister also commended the efforts of the law enforcement agencies in maintaining law and order throughout the elections and urged the residents to continue to replicate their peaceful conduct as they turn on to vote for the Area Council Elections scheduled to hold on March 9, 2019.
