In the statement, Yusuf commended the conduct of supporters of political parties for maintaining calm despite the skepticism, growing tension, disagreement, and dissatisfaction with the results in some states.
He further explained that the media has performed a colorful role in covering the 2023 elections and charged them to set agendas for elected candidates, and keenly track the implementation of their campaign promises after swearing-in.
Though the governorship and state assembly elections scheduled for Saturday, February 11th have been postponed, he however urged citizens across the country to come out in their thousands to elect competent leaders, noting that the voter turnout in the presidential election was very low
