CNPP congratulates Zambia’s President-elect
(Nigeria) The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties, CNPP, has congratulated the President-elect of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema on his presidential election victory.
The Zambia’s opposition leader, was on Monday
declared the winner of last week’s presidential election in the country,
defeating the incumbent President Edgar Lungu by over a million votes.
CNPP in a statement in Abuja by its Secretary
General, Chief Willy Ezugwu noted that “free, fair and credible election is a
basic ingredient to national development.”
Urging Nigerians to emulate the Zambians, the
CNPP noted that its about time Nigerians realised that Africa is waiting for
Nigeria.
“Once we get elections right, it will rub off on
all African countries as they are waiting for us to take the lead.
“As we look forward to the 2023 general
elections, the CNPP therefore urge Nigerians to emulate the Zambians by coming
out in their numbers to vote for candidates of their choice as voter apathy
gives room for rigging of election outcomes,” the CNPP noted.
