The former Vice President wrote a congratulatory message to
Buhari which he shared on Facebook. See it below…
My hearty congratulations to His Excellency, General
Muhammadu Buhari, for being elected the next president of
our beloved county, Nigeria. You have led our party, the All
Progressives Congress to an unprecedented victory within
two years of it’s official formation, and in so doing, written
the most important chapter of our democracy.
The great Nnamdi Azikiwe once wrote that “history will
continue to vindicate the just”. Your victory in the polls, with
votes from across the length and breadth of our country, bears
witness to the acceptance of not just our party, the APC, but
also your ideology of justice, fair play and zero tolerance for
corruption as the bedrock for national rebirth.
At this historic moment, it is most important to say a hearty
thank you to every Nigerian who voted for the APC. Your votes
have not just elected the first opposition party into federal
power, but has also set a precedent which will have positive
implications for democracy across Africa.
Dear GMB, the journey has just begun. Millions of Nigerians
have put their trust in you, because they were not satisfied
with the status quo. You represent the hope of a new
generation of Nigerians, and you cannot afford to fail them.
Our party has made a promise of change to our young people,
to secure and rebuild our country, create jobs and opportunity,
and improve citizens’ welfare. We will stand behind you to
ensure we keep those promises, just like we did during these
elections.
Our country needs a new direction. We have voted for you, and
our party won the election, but when you assume our highest
office, you must become the president of not just the APC, but
all of Nigeria, including the people who did not vote for you.
We look up to you to heal the fractures of our country, and
truly unite this country like never before.
To President Jonathan, I want to specially thank you for
conducting a historic election. Your party may have lost the
elections, but you have won the admiration of the world by not
interfering with the wishes of Nigerians. History will be kind to
you.
It is my sincere hope that we will all come together as one
country, to build the Nigeria of our dreams.
God bless Nigeria.
