Based on the figures on the 36 states,
Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives
Congress candidate, won.
Even before the INEC gave the figures from
Borno state, Jonathan called Buhari to personally
congratulate him.
Here is the public message, provided by The
Nation.
“Fellow Nigerians,
“I thank you all for turning out en-masse for
the March 28 General Elections.
“I promised the country free and fair elections.
I have kept my word. I have also expanded the
space for Nigerians to participate in the
democratic process. That is one legacy I will like
to see endure.
“Although some people have expressed mixed
feelings about the results announced by the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), I urge those who may feel aggrieved to
follow due process based on our constitution and
our electoral laws, in seeking redress.
“As I have always affirmed, nobody’s ambition is
worth the blood of any Nigerian. The unity,
stability and progress of our dear country is
more important than anything else.
I congratulate all Nigerians for successfully
going through the process of the March 28th
General Elections with the commendable
enthusiasm and commitment that was
demonstrated nationwide.
“I also commend the Security Services for their
role in ensuring that the elections were mostly
peaceful and violence-free.
“To my colleagues in the PDP, I thank you for
your support. Today, the PDP should be
celebrating rather than mourning. We have
established a legacy of democratic freedom,
transparency, economic growth and free and fair
elections.
“For the past 16 years, we have steered the
country away from ethnic and regional politics.
We created a Pan-Nigerian political party and
brought home to our people the realities of
economic development and social transformation.
“Through patriotism and diligence, we have built
the biggest and most patriotic party in Nigerian
history. We must stand together as a party and
look to the future with renewed optimism.
“I thank all Nigerians once again for the great
opportunity I was given to lead this country and
assure you that I will continue to do my best at
the helm of national affairs until the end of my
tenure.
“I have conveyed my personal best wishes to
General Muhammadu Buhari.
May God Almighty continue to bless the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
“I thank you all.”
