The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has expressed gratitude to Nigerians for voting him and his party in for the next four years.
Buhari in an interim message contained in a statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, Malam Garba Shehu, thanked Nigerians "for choosing him and his party over and above the PDP and their candidate, the incumbent President, Dr Jonathan Goodluck."
The APC statement said it "declared victory after Dr. Jonathan called General Buhari at 5.15pm to make a concession and congratulate the winner.
Shehu quoted Buhari as saying 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.
He is expected to make a major acceptance speech as soon as the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission declares the final results in which Buhari is expected to be declared winner.
