Gen. Buhari's acceptance speech below...
I am immensely grateful to God for this day and for this hour. I feel
truly honoured and humbled that the Nigerian people have so clearly
chosen me to lead them. The official announcement from INEC was the
moment the vast majority of Nigerians had hoped and been waiting for.
Today, history has been made, and change has finally come. Your votes
have changed our national destiny for the good of all Nigerians.
INEC has announced that I, Muhammadu Buhari, shall be your next
president. My team and I shall faithfully serve you. There shall no
longer be a ruling party again: APC will be your governing party. We
shall faithfully serve you. We shall never rule over the people as if
they were subservient to government.
