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 28 th 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 .
