The African Union (AU) chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, in a
statement issued on Wednesday at the Ethiopian headquarters of
the 54-member AU bloc, congratulated General Buhari for
emerging victorious in Nigeria’s presidential election, and praised
the outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan for graciously accepting
the results.
Vanguard reports that Dlamini-Zuma said the result
“demonstrates the maturity of democracy” in Nigeria, adding that
she she hoped the people “will be united in facing the challenges of
stability, security and development in their country.”
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Pilot reported that the president elect,
General Buhari will address his supporters and the nation at 11am
on Wednesday.
Party officials announced the decision to cancel the address at
about 12.54am after a long wait for the INEC to officially
announce the winner of the election.
The APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari was
declared the winner of March 28 presidential elections by the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
According to the INEC, the former military head of state won the
polls with 15,424,921 votes, or 53.95%, of the 28,587,564 total
valid ballots cast.
Buhari has contested the presidential election three consecutive
times but failed. He contested against General Olusegun Obasanjo
in 2003, the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in 2007, and Goodluck
Jonathan in 2011, before finally securing victory on March 28,
2015.
The ex-general is expected to be sworn in on May 29, which is
Nigeria’s democracy day.
The president elect has been receiving several messages from well
meaning Nigerians across the globe, and even from the incumbent
president and governors of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) that he has unseated.
