Enough: CPC Not Behind Post-election Violence

There have been calls from prominent Nigerians to an end to the post-election violence which broke out across the country following the victory of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as the President-elect.

Speaking on the ugly development, the President-elect, Jonathan said, “It is regrettable that when international observers are commending us for credible elections, there is violence in some parts of the country.”

“It is regrettable because it is uncalled-for,” added Jonathan.

In the meantime, the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) Presidential candidate in the just concluded election, General Muhammadu Buhari has also added his voice to end the violence, distancing himself and the CPC from the "dasterdly act."

In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Mr. Yinka Odunakin, General Buhari described the violence as an “unwarranted development.”
