Sir I humbly disagree with you, as we all know that "the call" was made around 5:15pm during which orubebe have already finished his show of shame which took place around 11pm, so you can't tell us that the phone call even was unfolding since then. so please get your facts right and check you time lapse.

I am immensely grateful to God for this day and for this
hour. I feel truly honoured and humbled that the Nigerian
people have so clearly chosen me to lead them. The
official announcement from INEC was the moment the
vast majority of Nigerians had hoped and been waiting
for. Today, history has been made, and change has
finally come. Your votes have changed our national
destiny for the good of all Nigerians .
INEC has announced that I, Muhammadu Buhari, shall be
your next president. My team and I shall faithfully serve
you. There shall no longer be a ruling party again: APC
will be your governing party. We shall faithfully serve
you. We shall never rule over the people as if they were
subservient to government.
Our long night has passed and the daylight of new
democratic governance has broken across the land. This
therefore is not a victory for one man or even one party.
It is a victory for Nigeria and for all Nigerians. Millions
of you have worked for this day. So many have risked
life and livelihood; and others have died that we may
witness this moment.
And it is with a very heavy heart that I report many
deaths and injuries amidst the jubilations yesterday. We
send our sincere condolences to the families and friends
of those who lost their lives; and wish speedy recovery
to those who suffered injuries. I appeal to all our
supporters to celebrate this victory with prayers and
reflection instead of wild jubilation.
!May the souls of those who died rest in peace. Let us
take a moment of silence to honour all of those whose
sacrifices have brought us to this fine and historic hour.
As the results of the election have shown, their labor has
not been and will never be in vain. Democracy and the
rule of law will be re-established in the land.
Let us put the past, especially the recent past, behind us.
We must forget our old battles and past grievances—and
learn to forge ahead. I assure you that our government is
one that will listen to and embrace all.
I pledge myself and our in-coming administration to just
and principled governance. There shall be no bias
against or favouritism for any Nigerian based on
ethnicity, religion, region, gender or social status. I
pledge myself and the government to the rule of law, in
which none shall be so above the law that they are not
subject to its dictates, and none shall be so below it that
they are not availed of its protection.
You shall be able to go to bed knowing that you are safe
and that your constitutional rights remain in safe hands.
You shall be able to voice your opinion without fear of
reprisal or victimisation. My love and concern for this
nation and what I desire for it extends to all, even to
those who do not like us or our politics. You are all my
people and I shall treat everyone of you as my own. I
shall work for those who voted for me as well as those
who voted against me and even for those who did not
vote at all. We all live under one name as one nation: we
are all Nigerians.
Some unfortunate issues about my eligibility have been
raised during the campaign. I wish to state that through
devotion to this nation, everything I have learned and
done has been to enable me to make the best possible
contribution to public life. If I had judged myself
incapable of governing I would never have sought to
impose myself on it. I have served in various capacities
and have always put in my best.
But despite the rancour of the elections, I extend a hand
of friendship and conciliation to President Jonathan and
his team. I hereby wish to state that I harbour no ill will
against anyone.
Let me state clearly that President Jonathan has nothing
to fear from me. Although we may not agree on the
methods of governing the nation, he is a great Nigerian
and still our president. He deserves our support and
permanent respect by virtue of the office he has held.
This is how an honourable nation treats its servants and
conducts its affairs; and this is how Nigeria should be.
I look forward to meeting with President Jonathan in the
days to come to discuss how our teams can make the
transition of administrations as efficient as possible.
Here, I want to thank my party for selecting me as its
candidate. I thank our party leaders and members for the
steadfast contributions they made to bring our dream to
fruition. I thank INEC, the police and all other
government agencies for performing their tasks in a
proper manner and for refusing to be induced to
undermine the election and the democratic process.
I also wish to thank religious Leaders, traditional leaders,
the media, labor unions, Civil Society organisations,
organised private sector, youths and students for their
roles in this election.
I give special thanks to President Obama and his timely
intervention and support for peaceful and credible
elections in Nigeria and for sending Secretary John Kerry
and other United States officials. The European Union -
especially the United Kingdom, France, Germany and
other nations that were actively involved in ensuring the
success of this election are equally appreciated. My
sincere thanks to the United Nations Secretary General
Mr Ban-Ki Moon. The Commonwealth, China, India and
other Asian and Gulf states are also hereby appreciated.
Finally our brothers in the African Union and ECOWAS
have truly and clearly shown and demonstrate their
commitment to our democratisation process. Former
Presidents John Kuffour, Amos Sawyer, Bakili Muluzi
and his team are well appreciated. I must also add my
appreciation for the role played by civil societies,
national and International observers, other world leaders
in ensuring that Nigeria holds free and fair elections.
I assure all foreign governments that Nigeria will become
a more forceful and constructive player in the global
fight against terrorism and in other matters of collective
concern, such as the fight against drugs, climate change,
financial fraud, communicable diseases and other issues
requiring global response. I want to assure our fellow
African nations that Nigeria will now stand as a more
constructive partner in advancing the matters of concern
to our continent, particularly with regard to economic
development and eradication of poverty.
Former head of state and president Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, General Yakubu Gowon, Alh. Shehu Shagari,
General Ibrahim Babangida, Chief Ernest Shonekan and
General Abdulsalami Abubakar deserve commendations
for their statesmanship and words of caution and
counsel for peace during the tense moments of this
electoral period.
Most of all, I thank the people of Nigeria for reposing
their confidence in me at this trying moment. Our nation
wrestles many challenges including insecurity,
corruption, economic decline. I pledge to give you my
best in tackling these problems.
The good people of Nigeria, your obligation does not end
with casting your ballot. I seek your voice and input as
we tackle these problems. This will not be a government
democratic only in form. It will be a government
democratic in substance and in how it interacts with its
own people.
No doubt, this nation has suffered greatly in the recent
past, and its staying power has been tested to its limits
by crises, chief among which is insurgency of the Boko
Haram. There is no doubt that in tackling the insurgency
we have a tough and urgent job to do. But I assure you
that Boko Haram will soon know the strength of our
collective will and commitment to rid this nation of
terror, and bring back peace and normalcy to all the
affected areas. We shall spare no effort until we defeat
terrorism.
Furthermore, we shall strongly battle another form of evil
that is even worse than terrorism—the evil of corruption.
Corruption attacks and seeks to destroy our national
institutions and character. By misdirecting into selfish
hands funds intended for the public purpose, corruption
distorts the economy and worsens income inequality. It
creates a class of unjustly-enriched people.
Such an illegal yet powerful force soon comes to
undermine democracy because its conspirators have
amassed so much money that they believe they can buy
government. We shall end this threat to our economic
development and democratic survival. I repeat that
corruption will not be tolerated by this administration;
and it shall no longer be allowed to stand as if it is a
respected monument in this nation.
I ask you to join me in resolving these and the other
challenges we face. Along the way, there will be victories
but there may also be setbacks. Mistakes will be made.
But we shall never take you for granted; so, be rest
assured that our errors will be those of compassion and
commitment not of wilful neglect and indifference.
We shall correct that which does not work and improve
that which does. We shall not stop, stand or idle. We
shall, if necessary crawl, walk and run to do the job you
have elected us to do.
I realise that the expectation of our people today is as
high as their commitment to change has been strong
and their belief in us unshaken. While we pledge to begin
doing our best without delay, we would like to appeal to
them to appreciate the gravity of our situation, so that
we become more realistic in our expectations.
We will govern for you and in your interests. Your vote
was not wasted. This is not the first time Nigerians have
cast their votes for us, and this is not the first time they
have been counted; but this is the first time that the
votes have been allowed to count. With the help of God,
we pledge to do our utmost to bring forth the Nigeria you
seek.
Thank you for your patience and attention.
General Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR
President-Elect,
Federal Republic of Nigeria
