By Sylvester Okere

The United States Movement for Buhari-Osinbajo (USM4BO) congratulates Nigeria's President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari and his vice, Professor Yemi Osinbajo on this successful presidential election.


We congratulate the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting a free and fair election that has been deemed acceptable by international observers. While we express deep dissatisfaction on reports of pockets of disruptions, violence and even death of two ad hoc members of INEC, we do believe INEC staff have conducted themselves in a professional manner. USM4BO will continue to stand in support of INEC on providing ways to improve on our electoral process.

USM4BO commends President Goodluck, as the chief security officer of Nigeria for providing needed security and protection for all Nigerians of all walks of life in performing their constitutional voting rights. We thank all Nigeria security parastatals for their professional conducts during the election.

USM4BO believes that the only winners in this election are the patriotic Nigerians everywhere that defied all odds to perform their constitutional civic duty of voting. We are proud of every Nigerian that shunned all types of violence but instead maintained peaceful and resilient spirit throughout the process of the election. We share in your enthusiasm for a better Nigeria and continuous protection of our democracy.

USM4BO specially thank President Goodluck Jonathan Ebele for his leadership in the last six years. We wish him well in his next phase of life.

USM4BO also use this opportunity to thank the UN, EU, the Obama administration and other international communities on their support and vigilance throughout the election process. We thank Voice of America and other media networks for their contributions towards a successful election. We also thank different organizations in Nigeria and in diaspora that have relentlessly called for peaceful elections for all their efforts.

USM4BO will stand with President-elect Buhari administration to support the implementation of their manifesto. We will work with and hold the new administration accountable on fulfilling promises made to Nigerian community during this election.

USM4BO takes pride in our rich ethnic diversity and unity across different tribes, and religious groups. We stand to protect the image of Nigeria everywhere, and we are committed to true democracy, human rights, peace, community development, opportunity, fairness, and freedom for all Nigerians.
