President Muhammadu Buhari, Sunday morning, said God had crowned the long term effort of President-elect, Bola Tinubu.
Delivering his farewell address to the country, Buhari also described Tinubu as the best Presidential Candidate and quipped that Nigerians had chosen well.
“You have indeed worked for this day and God has crowned your efforts. I have no doubt that your passion for excellence, reliance on competence, fairness in relationships, commitment to equity, loyalty to the country and desire for Nigeria to be globally relevant would come through for you, under God’s guidance, as you lead our country to levels higher that I am leaving.
“You are the best candidate among all the contestants and Nigerians have chosen well, ” Buhari said.
He subsequently asked other aggrieved candidates to continue to show faith in the judiciary and strictly abide by the decisions of the Court.
Reeling out his legacies in the last eight years, the outgoing President boasted about whittling down the influence of money in politics and offering Nigerians the opportunity to pick their preffered candidates without the influence of money, godfatherism and force.
