Muhammadu 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.
