The spokesperson for President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign team, Femi Fani-Kayode has asked Nigerians to support the incoming administration of president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.
This is just as he said that his attacks on Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) during, during electioneering were not personal.
“There was absolutely nothing personal as regards this Directorate or myself. I had nothing personal against anybody. I was simply doing my job for which I have no regrets and I wish them well and I sincerely hope that they will take Nigeria to a level that we can all be proud of,” he said.
He thereafter congratulated Buhari for his victory and commended President Jonathan for conceding defeat.
“We start by saying that we commend and we congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari for winning this election. We also wish to commend our President, President Goodluck Jonathan, for having the courage to concede that he has lost the election at the earliest moment and also for being able to stand up and rise above party politics and being able to speak like a statesman,” he said.
He prayed for peace in the country, saying, “May God grant each and every one of us peace. May He watch over our nation. May He guide our President for the next two months whilst he is still in power and thereafter and may He guide and lead the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, in the herculean task that lies ahead for him.
“My prayer is that he brings our nation together, heals the wounds and that he builds the bridges in terms of religion, ethnicity and region that he needs to build in order for us to make Nigeria a better place and to ensure that Nigeria becomes a great country that she is destined to be.”
Fani urged Nigerians to support the incoming administration “and to remember that we are first and foremost Nigerians before anything else”.
