‘’ So, the best we can do is to embrace the new government diplomatically, so that we can be part of it and have a voice.’’
Sara-Igbe commended President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding defeat, fulfilling a promise to conduct a free and fair election, and congratulating the president-elect.
He urged the Chairman of INEC to redeploy some of the Resident Electoral Commissioners in the states because they had been compromised.
He said there was need to reshuffle them to avoid the experience in some states during the Presidential and National Assembly elections. (NAN)
