Speech given by President -elect, General
Buhari after he was declared winner of the
2015 elections
“
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
