We bear witness to how much you have given this nation and how grounded you have stuck to the politics of inclusiveness. We are confident that God has prepared you for the task ahead, as such, you will not fail.
“Consequently, be assured of our constant prayers and good wishes as you prepare to take up this new and immense responsibility.
“I wish to thank all Nigerians for this victory, especially the leadership and members of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Director-General and members of the APC Presidential Campaign Council as well as the Progressive Governors’ Forum for their unshakable support which has led to this monumental victory.
“Once again, congratulations and kindly accept the assurances of my highest esteem.
