\u201cWe will be very pleased to join our brothers and sisters in the inauguration,\u201d Ndele said.<\/p>\n

Ndele had during the 4th\u00a0 Ordinary session of PAP, which ended on Friday, expressed satisfaction with the successful conduct of the elections in Nigeria and some other African countries.<\/p>\n

He said Nigeria and\u00a0 eight other African countries,\u00a0 which had been able to hold credible elections,\u00a0 gave hope to the continent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe good conduct of these elections gives us hope for a systematic evolution of our states toward the democratic models that we wish for,\u201d Ndele said.<\/p>\n

Ndele congratulated all elected\u00a0 and\u00a0 re-elected Heads of\u00a0 State in the continent\u00a0 while also lauding the electorates for their political maturity.<\/p>\n

He also said PAP was encouraging African states to adopt the African charter on democracy, elections and governance.<\/p>\n

The PAP president stated that free and fair elections were the\u00a0 norms now\u00a0 in the continent, adding that\u00a0 there would no longer\u00a0 be\u00a0 room for\u00a0 life\u00a0 presidents or\u00a0 family monopoly of\u00a0 power with the charter..<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica needs change and if you want change,\u00a0 you must go through free and fair elections,\u201d he said. (NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
