President of the NLC Comrade Ayuba Wabba, in a congratulatory message to Buhari, who defeated incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, said the election was significant for the fact that “votes do count after all. Politicians will learn to keep their promises to the electorate.”
While expressing readiness to work with and engage the incoming government, Wabba said the NLC stands “ready to work with the president-elect in defining a new agenda for our nation.
“We strongly believe that the election of Major General Buhari has undoubtedly opened a new and important chapter in the socio-political development of our nation as we have finally broken the jinx of transiting from one democratically elected civilian government controlled by a ruling party to one controlled by an opposition party.”
“We also commend the President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, for not only organising an election adjudged to be credible and fair but also for promptly accepting its outcome even though he lost. This is statesmanship and is in keeping with his oft-quoted phrase that his election into the office of president is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.”
