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
