We’ll carry everybody along, says Sambo
Vice President Namadi Sambo has given assurance that President
Goodluck Jonathan would involve all Nigerians in his administration
irrespective of party affiliation, tribe or religion.
Mr Sambo who made the declaration shortly after casting his vote
at camp road polling unit Kabala Doki, thanked Nigerians for voting massively
for PDP during the presidential and governorship elections.
“We thank God that today everything is going very calm and peaceful
and I would like to use this opportunity to express my appreciation to all
Nigerians for the confidence bestowed in us during the last presidential
election.
Assuring Nigerians
“We want to assure Nigerians that we will not fail them. Today
the trust will be seen and I must congratulate all Nigerians for the right
decision.” The vice president alongside his wife, Amina voted around 1.25pm
amidst tight security, just as there was low turnout of voters in many polling
stations across the state. The low turnout was attributed to fear of any fresh
violence during the election coupled with the crisis that engulfed the state
last week.
He condoled the victims of the post election violence that broke
out in some parts of the north, assuring that all the culprits involved in the
mayhem would be brought to book.
“I want to seize this opportunity to also express my sincere
sympathy and condolence to the victims of the last violence that took place and
pray that Almighty God will grant us continued peace in this country.
“But I must also seize this opportunity to inform Nigerians that
all culprits would be taken in accordance to the law of this country and this
administration would not sit down to allow people to take law into their hands.
However, we are working hard to ensure that the sad experience does not occur
again.”
Mr Sambo said that investigation into the recent crises will
soon commence and those that were affected will be investigated and proper
investigation would be taken to ensure that government does the right thing in
ensuring that people do not unnecessarily suffer in this country.
