All Progressives Congress (APC) has appealed to all its members and supporters across the country to remain calm and peaceful, and to resist all acts of provocation as they await the results of the presidential elections.

In a statement issued in Abuja yesterday by its National Publicity  Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the post-election  moment, when all Nigerians were eagerly awaiting the results of the elections, was a tense moment for the country, “hence nothing must be done to disturb the peace or cause disunity.”

“We must begin the very critical process of healing all the wounds  inflicted by the rancorous and divisive electioneering campaign, and rebuilding trust among our unprecedentedly-divided people.”
The APC reminded all its members and supporters that the agents of disunity are on the prowl, ready to trigger trouble and destabilise the country; hence they must not play into the hands of such people.

“To all our members, supporters and indeed all Nigerians, we urge you to please remain calm and show equanimity if you must celebrate.”
