He opined that this fatherly disposition of the president also brought about the peaceful and orderly conduct of the election which has been adjudged as one of the freest, fairest and most credible elections in recent times.
The Mayor of Atlanta also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), especially for deploying the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, (BVAS), which he said tremendously helped in curbing rigging and other electoral malpractices. He also commended the security agencies for the great job they did culminating to the success of the election and IPOB for cancelling the sit-at-home order.
He commended Governor Willie Obiano for his statesmanship and examplary leadership role he played during the election and the various infrastructural edifices dotting the entire landscape of the state which he has put in place.
