The Kogi State governor, Captain Idris Wada, has congratulated Nigeria’s President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, on his victory at the just-concluded presidential poll.
In his goodwill message which was signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Mr Jacob Edi, the governor noted that the retired General’s success in the election is a further testimony that democracy is now firmly rooted in Nigeria.
Governor Wada further stated that, like any sporting event, a winner is expected to emerge at the end of every election.
He, therefore, wished the President-elect a successful tenure as he begins the onerous task of leading the country in the years ahead.
Governor Wada also commended the outgoing President, Goodluck Jonathan for creating an enabling environment for democracy to flourish, having ensured a credible general election and for steering the ship of state in the last Six years.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari, winner of Nigeria’s presidential election, defeating the incumbent, President Goodluck Jonathan.
The announcement was made by the Chairman of INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega, in the early hours of Wednesday, April 1, after the completion of the collation and announcement of results which started at the collation centre in Abuja, the nation’s capital, on Monday and ended on Tuesday, March 31.
General Muhammadu Buhari of the APC polled a total of 15,424,921 votes to defeat all other candidates, with Dr Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) polling a total of 12,853,162 votes to place second.
