Adams Oshiomhole, Edo State governor, has congratulated Muhammadu Buhari, winner of the 2015 Presidential elections.
He said the victory represents a new dawn in the nation’s polity.
In a statement issued by Peter Okhiria, his Chief press Secretary, Oshiomhole said, “Let me congratulate you, sir, on your historic victory at the presidential election, through a process which has been adjudged as free, fair and credible by both local and international observers. Indeed, your victory, on the basis of One Man, One Vote, represents a new dawn in the democratic governance of our great country.
“The spread of your victory across the length and breadth of the country shows your national acceptance as the man Nigeria needs at this critical stage to reposition her from the 16 years of misrule of the PDP.
“Despite the smear campaigns against your person and candidature and the attempts to polarize the country along ethnic and religious lines, Nigerians made a bold statement by speaking through their ballots that you are, indeed, the President they want at this time of our national history.”
According to the statement, Oshiomhole noted that, “I have implicit confidence that, with you as President, Nigeria will no doubt get a true and selfless leadership needed to drive the much-desired change at the centre which will be the catalyst for developmental revolution across the country.
“Your pedigree as a former Head of State and the indelible imprint you left at that time are still being felt across the country. Your doggedness and victory at the fourth attempt will serve as an inspiration to many, never to give up on a dream that is worth living.”
He also urged the Presidential candidates of the other parties to join hands with the President-elect to move the nation to the next level.
