Speech given by President -elect, General Buhari after he was declared winner of the 2015 elections
BISMILLAHI.... THE LORD OF RASULULLAHI (S.AW).
Your Excellency, the Vice President elect, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, your Excellency, Chief
Rotimi Amaechi, the Director General of APC Presidential Campaign, 2015, your Excellency, the former Governor
of Edo State and National
Chairman of our great party, your Excellency the Governor Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, your
Excellency, the former Governor of Imo State, Dr Ogbonaya Onu, Your Excellency, the former
Governor of Ekiti State, Engineer Oni, your Excellency the former
Governor of Kwara, Bokola Saraki, your Excellency, the Speaker of the House of Representative, Honourable Aminu Tambuwal, Please, let me
stand on existing protocol.
At exactly 5:15 yesterday (Tuesday) evening, President Jonathan called to congratulate me on my victory. For
this, I want all Nigerians to join me in congratulating and appreciating Mr President for his statesmanship. President Jonathan was a worthy opponent. I extend my hand of
fellowship to him. I look forward to meeting him soon, as we plan the
transition from one administration to another. He will receive nothing but cooperation and understanding from
me, who led this nation to democracy. You stood in line patiently for hours; in the rain, in the sun and then in the
dark to cast your votes. Even when the vote was extended to Sunday in some places, you still performed your civic
duties.
You did so peacefully. You voted with your heart. Your vote affirms that you believe Nigeria’s future can be better
than what it is today. You voted for change and now change has come.
INEC has released the official result of the Presidential Election. INEC has declared that I gained the most votes
with the required spread and won this election. In a more profound way, it is you, Nigerians that have won. The people have shown their love for our nation and their believe in democracy.
The declaration of INEC accurately reflects the will of the people.
While there might have been some logistical obstacles and irregularities
associated with the exercise, the result
shall stand as what the people want. I thank all Nigerians who have made this day possible, our country has now joined the community of nations that have used the ballot box to physically change an incumbent president in a
free and fair election To me, this is indeed historic. Most people will
welcome the result because it is the one they voted for. Others will literarily be disappointed. I ask that we all be circumspect, respectful and peaceful in
these times. This was a hard-fought contest. Emotions were high.
We must not allow them to get the better of us. This is not the time for
confrontation. This is a moment that we must begin to heal the wounds
and work toward a better future. We
do this first by extending a hand of friendship and conciliation across the
political divide. We hope and pray our friends in other parties reciprocate. I thank all the members of the All
Progressives Congress, the APC, for their commitment and their hard work through the formation of the party, the campaigns and the presidential elections. Let me equally express my appreciation to the media, civil society and security agencies for their selfless service.
The international press and our friends abroad deserve a fair commendation for their support throughout the process. We promise a
robust and dynamic engagement with your countries in matters of mutual interest. In the interim, I call on all Nigerians to be law abiding and peaceful. The eyes of the world were
focused on us to see if we can vote in a peaceful way and carry out elections in an orderly manner. We have proven to the world that we are a people who have embraced democracy and a people who seek a government by, for and for the people.
We have put one party state behind us. We have voted for a government
that will serve and govern, but will never rule over you. CHANGE has come and a new day and a new Nigeria is
upon us. The victory is yours and the glory is that of our nation, NIGERIA. I will make a more formal address to the nation, later in the afternoon after I receive the certificate of return from the INEC.
May God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Nigeria’s President Elect
Muhammadu Buhari
ALHAMDULILLAH
