Boko Haram Will Soon Know The Strength Of Our Collective Will - Buhari by ifyclose2(m): 5:16pm On Apr 01, 2015
The winner of Nigeria's presidential election,
Muhammadu Buhari, has issued a defiant vow
against militants Boko Haram, saying they would
"soon know the strength of our collective will".
The president-elect also vowed to tackle corruption,
which he described as an "even greater evil".
Gen Buhari won the election beating President
Goodluck Jonathan by 2.5 million votes.
World leaders congratulated Gen Buhari and hailed
Nigeria's democratic spirit.
Live reaction to Buhari victory
Gen Buhari, of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
has become the first opposition candidate to win a
presidential election in Nigeria.
In a televised speech, he said: "In tackling the
insurgency, we have a tough and urgent job to do.
Boko Haram will soon know the strength of our
collective will. We should spare no effort until we
defeat terrorism."
Much of Gen Buhari's support was in the north, in
particular the north-east, which has suffered from
Boko Haram's six-year insurgency. The militants have
killed thousands of people in their drive to establish
an Islamic state.
Many people accused Mr Jonathan of not taking Boko
Haram seriously and thought Gen Buhari would be
better positioned to defeat the militants.
Analysis: BBC's Will Ross in Lagos
This is a hugely significant moment in Nigeria's
turbulent history. Never before has a sitting
president been defeated in an election.
Since independence from Britain in 1960, there have
been numerous coups and although the 2011 vote
was an improvement, most elections have been
rigged or even annulled by the military.
Of course in a relatively close election, there will be
millions of people who are not pleased with the
outcome. But the whole process is a sign that
democracy is deepening in Nigeria and may be a
tonic to other countries in Africa.
Nigerians can start to believe that it is possible to
remove politicians through the ballot box.
Historic moment for Nigeria

Nigerian press welcome Buhari victory
Gen Buhari, 72, also angrily denounced corruption,
saying: "It creates unjustly enriched people... and
undermines democracy. Corruption will not be
tolerated by this government."
He praised his defeated rival, saying: "I extend a
hand of friendship and conciliation to President
Jonathan and his team. I have no ill will against
anyone. He has nothing to fear from me. He is a great
Nigerian and still our president."
Pledging to uphold the rule of law, the former
military ruler said: "Your constitutional rights remain
in safe hands - you will be able to voice your opinion
without fear of victimisation."
