President-elect Muhammadu Buhari, has assured Nigerians he won't fail or
betray their trust..Speaking while hosting a delegation from Taraba
State,Buhari said
“I think that 2015 will go down in Nigeria political history as a
glorious year. Nigerians have deliberately understood what is multi
party democracy. But we thank God for technology, PVC and card reader
and the insistence of constituencies to make sure they are used.
“However,
in two political zones where they were subverted, the people wanted to
vote, but they were not allowed to vote and they continued with what
they used to do in their party offices
or their sitting rooms, where they would write the results, go to radio
house and television house and announce the result and say whoever does
not accept the result should go to court.
“How
many people can go to court when they are struggling to get the next
day’s meal? Where will they get the millions to give to those Senior
Advocates of Nigeria. I was able to do it because of the goodwill of
Nigeria which again demonstrated itself this year.
“People agreed
that I am not a very rich man, but I was lucky that Nigerians believe
in me and they put their strength together, voted and made sure that
their votes count. I say thanks to the technology. Please continue to support those among you that you feel will go and work for your state and for the country. I assure you that the government of the APC, when eventually put in place, will be a competent Nigerian government.
“We will never betray the people because they have risked everything. Some even lost their lives in this course to make sure
that APC succeed and that we have a leadership in place that they can
trust and that is what multi party democracy is all about.”
