Below is
the full text of the speech.
My Dear Nigerians,
First and foremost, I give thanks
to Almighty God Who has spared our lives to witness another victory for
Nigerian democracy and victory for our party APC.
2. I thank
the millions of Nigerians who voted to re-elect me as your president for the
next four years. I am deeply humbled and profoundly grateful to you for judging
me worthy of continuing to serve you and for your peaceful conduct.
3. In particular, I would like to
thank Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for his masterful leadership as Co-chair of the
Campaign Council. I would like to also thank the Party Chairman Adams
Oshiomhole, the Director General of the Campaign Council Rotimi Amaechi, all
members of the Presidential Campaign Council and other various Support Groups.
4. My grateful thanks to all those
who contributed to the logistical expenses of the campaign in such a vast
country like Nigeria.
5. I also thank the millions of
volunteers, self-appointed overseers, canvassers, agents, escorts and sentries
who sacrificed so much of their time and resources to ensure the success of
these elections. I do not have the words adequate to thank them.
6.
Although Saturday’s elections were relatively peaceful, troublemakers in a
handful of states attempted to disrupt an otherwise orderly process. Security
agencies will bring to justice all those arrested in the process.
7. I am very sad at the grievous
loss of lives during these elections. Security agencies will step up their
efforts to protect voters in the forthcoming State elections.
8. I would like to commend our
security agencies, as severely overstretched as they are, for handling the
difficult task of securing the country during the election period.
9. I will like to make a special
appeal to my supporters not to gloat or humiliate the opposition. Victory is
enough reward for your efforts
10. We
give thanks also to our Domestic and International observers for contributing
to the success of our elections and for their interest in our country and our
developing democracy.
11. The new Administration will
intensify its efforts in Security, Restructuring the Economy and Fighting
Corruption. We have laid down the foundation and we are committed to seeing
matters to the end. We will strive to strengthen our unity and inclusiveness so
that no section or group will feel left behind or left out.
12. I thank you for your support
and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
