He said: “I call on the President to be magnanimous with his victory, while the losers should accept defeat in the spirit of sportsmanship.

“They should not sink the ship of the state because of their loss. Let them join hands with Buhari to rebuild and move Nigeria forward.

“It’s difficult to appreciate the structure until you start laying the blocks. That’s when the beauty would be better appreciated.

“The president in the past three and half years has been at the foundation level. This victory has given birth to a new Nigeria. Mr. President will reinforce and consolidate on his previous achievements."
