“I very heartily felicitate all the distinguished men and women elected,” he said. I wish you all well. You are the new Nigerian team.
From May 29 this year, the weight of our public solidarity, harmony, and improvement will lay in your shoulders collectively.

It is just and right to acknowledge that the elections on February 25 were not perfect. We did not intend to hold flawless elections.

“World history has no examples of amazing races. Like any remaining popularity based countries, we set off on a mission to direct free, fair, and believable decisions. We did this.

“It gives me great pride to say that we accomplished this feat and kept the promise President Muhammadu Buhari made to the people. There were no allegations of vote-buying or outcry over any of the other problems with the way our elections were conducted for the first time in living memory. Although Rigging is not dead, it has been decapitated. We are also maturing alongside our democracy as it matures.

“According to the preliminary announcements made by the electoral umpire, INEC, of the results of the general elections held on February 25, 2023, the APC won the presidency and a majority in both of the National Assembly’s chambers.

“We chose not to rout the other political parties because they are our partners in the development and advancement of our nation,” he said.
