the organisation said that the spectacular victory of the President Elect and other categories of APC candidates in the general election is a grand victory for the forces of change in the country.
The group says that Buhari’s emergence is a vindication of perseverance, integrity, honesty, discipline and hard work, which are attributes difficult to find in Nigerian politicians today.
“We salute Gen. Buhari, an exemplary leader who set a standard in integrity which has so far, not been bested by any Nigerian leader. We salute his doggedness in the country’s political sphere which has seen him become Nigerian Abraham Lincoln with a solid history of steadfastness in contesting the country’s presidential election and eventually emerging victorious in the very fourth try. We see this as a just reward for his proven honesty and integrity and a great lesson to every Nigerian both young and old.
“We express our confidence in the ability of President-Elect Buhari to attend to the clarion demands of Nigerians to arrest the drift of the Nigerian state and steer it again to prosperity after the disastrous vouyage of the past sixteen years. We firmly trust in his capability to once again instill honesty in the conduct of the governance in Nigeria and we affirm that Gen. Buhari will never ever fail Nigerians as President.
“Our group equally congratulates our Governors-Elect in various states in Nigeria, our National Assembly and State Assembly Legislators-Elect for their resounding victories in the just concluded election. We view their victories and that of our great party as an implicit vote of confidence on our great party and we urge that all out elected candidates work diligently to justify the huge expectations placed on our shoulders by Nigerians. We also salute the doggedness of the national, state, local government, ward officers of our party, our teeming members and supporters nationwide for the hard work that wrought this comprehensive victory. We salute their courage and determination that brought this resounding victory.
“We salute Nigerians for the confidence and trust reposed on our great party in this last election and we pledge that we will not fail their expectations on us in this just concluded election. We pledge that our party will work very hard to meet the expectations of Nigerians and we appeal to all Nigerians to work together with our elected candidates so that we can collectively realize the dream of all Nigerians for a well governed and responsible country.”
