uhammadu Buhari, the likely President-Elect of
Nigeria, has thanked the Nigerians who supported him
and the All Progressives Congress.
While the Independent National Electoral Commission is
yet to officially announce the results, after providing the
figures on Borno state, congratulatory messages are
already being sent to the APC candidate.
Buhari took to his Facebook page to thank the
supporters and urge people to be respectful to the
opponents.
“Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!
“Victory is for all Nigerians. Please be magnanimous in
victory and shake the hand of those we contested
against.
“We thank President Goodluck Jonathan for being a
gracious contestant and accepting the decision of the
Nigerian people.
“The work starts today.”
Buhari also urged Nigerians to refrain from getting
involved in the molestation of opponents by saying:
“He or she is not with me, whoever does that.”
President Goodluck Jonathan earlier today called Gen.
Buhari to congratulate him on the victory. Happy with
the outcome, thousands of APC backers have already
started celebrations in the streets of Nigeria.
