The renowned peace ambassador strongly appealed to Nigerians, particularly candidates and party leaders to bury their ego, pride and accept the outcome of the 2019 general election for the sake of millions of Nigerians and Africans.
He said; ” It is pertinent to note that Africa and the world in general are watching us and we must do everything humanly possible to display and show maturity in our democracy for others to emulate “.
Furthermore Mulade said ” The time has come for Nigerian politicians to learn from former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and opposition leader, Engr Raila Odinga of Kenya for laying good example for the sake of their people . I therefore call on Nigerian politicians to emulate them and become the heroes of democracy in Africa. It is worthy to state that accepting defeat is not a failure or weakness, but It will strengthen our democratic institutions in Africa “.
