Congratulatory messages have continued to come the way of President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, as the European Union has felicitated with him, challenging him to focus on the challenges and opportunities ahead.
This was disclosed by the High Representative and EU Vice-President, Federica Mogherini in a statement on Wednesday.
The EU VP also thanked President Goodluck Jonathan for his great contribution to building the country and to consolidating its democracy over the past five years.
According to Mogherini, the EU looks forward to working with Buhari and his government in the future.
She commended candidates that have conceded defeat gracefully, urging those who wish to challenge the results to do so through the appropriate procedures.
”According to us, the Election Monitoring Mission would remain to monitor the governorship elections on April, 11, expressing hope that it will be conducted in the same peaceful and democratic spirit.”
She said: “Nigerians can now look forward to focusing on the many challenges and opportunities that lie ahead of the country. The European Union has been a close partner for Nigeria over the past 50 years, and will continue to support its development and to share its values in promoting peace, prosperity and democracy on the continent and in the world.”
