hThe Ijaw National Congress (INC), has congratulated General Muhammadu Buhari on his victory over their kinsman, President Goodluck Jonathan in the just concluded presidential election.
INC also warned Nigerians against any act that was capable of endangering the peace, unity and corporate existence of the country.
INC, through its President, Boma Obuoforibo, in a statement on Wednesday stated that President Jonathan did well on Tuesday evening by conceding defeat and congratulating Gen. Buhari, even before the formal announcement of the final results.
President Jonathan’s kinsmen said: “On behalf of the Ijaw ethnic nationality, we commend President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for his courageous outing in the 2015 presidential election. He made all Nigerians proud by his unprecedented show of sportsmanship in accepting the verdict of INEC.
“His telephone call to congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) on his victory at the poll, even before the formal declaration of results by INEC, is a statesmanlike act that has endeared him as a role model for emerging leaders of our country and Africa.
“We congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari on his victory at the poll and wish him divine wisdom and courage to lead our dear Nigeria into a new era of peace and broadly-shared prosperity.”
