Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has
congratulated Gen Buhari on his victory today. In
a message released this evening, Chief Obasanjo
asked the President-in-waiting to be
magnanimous in victory and also fight corruption
when he assumes office.
"With so much harm already done to many
national institutions including the military,
which proudly nurtured you and me, you will
have a lot to do on institution reform –
education, healthcare, economy, security,
infrastructure, power, youth employment,
agri-business, oil and gas, external affairs,
cohesiveness of our nation and ridding our
land of corruption.
Your varied and wide experience will
undoubtedly stand you in good stead. is
blessed with men and women of goodwill,
character and virtue across the board that
you can mobilise to join hands with you in
the reform, repairs and re-direction that will
be imperative to put Nigeria back on the fast
lane of good governance, unity, cohesiveness,
development and progress. For me, the
totality of 2015 elections hold many lessons
for our democracy and democratisation
process, which are both maturing. On this
occasion, the system has been unnecessarily
overheated before and particularly during the
campaigns when emphasis was more on
trivialities and hate, divisive, undignifying and
disrespectful statements and comments
rather than on pressing issues requiring
attention. I know that in victory, you will be
magnanimous to start binding the wounds
and bitterness occasioned by the campaign
and the evil disciples ” the statement read
