My victory at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on the February 23, 2019 poll is for Nigerians who trooped out to overwhelmingly elect me for a second term in office.

These are the words of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Good conscience fears no evil report. I was unperturbed all along, because I knew Nigerians freely gave us the mandate. We are now vindicated,” he added.

The president dedicated the victory to God, and to Nigerians, while also commending the judiciary for “dispensing justice without fear or favour.”

Buhari extended a hand of fellowship to those who had felt aggrieved at the outcome of the election, and went to court, noting that it was within their democratic rights.

He noted, however, that with the pronouncement of the judiciary, “it is time for the country to move forward as one cohesive body, putting behind us all bickering and potential distractions over an election in which Nigerians spoke clearly and resoundingly.”
