just-concluded elections, General Muhammadu
Buhari, has issued an interim message of thanks and
gratitude to Nigerians for choosing him and his
party over and above the Peoples Democratic Party
and their candidate and incumbent, Dr. Jonathan
Goodluck.
The party declared victory after Dr. Jonathan called
General Buhari at 5:15pm on Tuesday to make a
concession and congratulate the winner.
A statement issued on Buhari's behalf on Tuesday
evening by the Director Media and Publicity of the
APC Presidential Campaign Council, Garba Shehu,
said the mood of the country as well as its current
state did not warrant the type of wild celebrations
reportedly going on in some cities across the
country.
Buhari said anybody happy with the victory of the
APC in the presidential election will not be involved
in the molestation of opponents or the destruction
of their property.
"He or she is not with me, whoever does that,"
Buhari curtly said.
Buhari is due to make a major acceptance speech in
the coming hours.
