ABUJA—CHAIRMAN, Board of Trustees, BoT
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Tony Anenih, said
yesterday that with the election of the candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, (retd) during the March 28
Presidential election, there was hope that the administration of the President-
elect would take Nigeria to greater heights.
Anenih in a two- page statement, titled, “Marching on with Hope”
in Abuja, urged those who might still be aggrieved by the outcome of the March
28 Presidential Election to emulate the selflessness and
magnanimity of President Goodluck Jonathan who conceded victory.
Anenih, who congratulated Buhari on his victory, hailed President
Jonathan’s statesmanship in conceding defeat.
He also noted that with the action, the
President made an indelible mark on the sands of time, adding that
President Jonathan accepted the outcome of the polls to ensure that
Nigeria enjoyed peace, and march to greatness and prosperity.
He said: “A keenly contested Presidential Election,
which many predicted would spell doom for Nigeria, has ended, gloriously, with
everyone a winner.
“I congratulate the President-Elect, General Muhammadu Buhari,
GCFR, on his victory. Nigerians are expecting great things from
him; it is my hope that he will take this great country to greater heights in
the journey towards our manifest destiny.
“I salute the statesmanship of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,
GCFR, in conceding defeat, even before the official declaration of results was
done. By this noble act, President Jonathan has made an indelible mark on the
sands of time. History will be very kind to him.
“President Jonathan has worked, selflessly, to deepen democracy in
Nigeria. His consistent advocacy of the rights of the people to freely choose
their leaders had earlier yielded free, fair and credible elections in some
States of the Federation. Now, a peaceful transition is expected to follow
after the general elections.
“The 2015 Presidential Election, in which the incumbent President
lost to the opposition, has become a source of pride to Nigeria. It
has portrayed to the world that democracy in Nigeria compares to the best
anywhere.
