The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the just-
concluded elections, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.),
has expressed gratitude to Nigerians for voting him and his
party to steer the ship of state for the next four years.
Buhari said this in an interim message of gratitude to
Nigerians in Abuja, on Tuesday.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Director of
Media and Publicity of the APC campaign, Mallam Garba
Shehu.
In the message, Buhari thanked Nigerians “for choosing him
and his party over and above the PDP and their candidate, the
incumbent President, Dr Jonathan Goodluck.”
The APC statement said it “declared victory after Dr.
Jonathan called General Buhari at 5:15pm to make a
concession and congratulate the winner.”
Shehu quoted Buhari as saying the mood of the country as
well as its current state did not warrant the type of wild
celebrations reportedly going on in some cities across the
country.
“Buhari said anybody happy with the victory of the APC in the
presidential election will not be involved in the molestation of
opponents or the destruction of their property.
“He or she is not with me, whoever does that,” Buhari curtly
said.
He is expected to make a major acceptance speech at 11 am
today after the Chairman of the Independent National
Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, might have
officially declared him as the winner of the March 28
presidential election.
