me worthy of continuing to serve you and
for your peaceful conduct.

chairman, Adams Oshiomhole , the Director
General of the Campaign Council Rotimi
Amaechi, all members of the Presidential
Campaign Council and other various
support groups.

the logistical expenses of the campaign in
such a vast country like Nigeria .

agents, escorts and sentries who sacrificed
so much of their time and resources to
ensure the success of these elections . I do
not have the words adequate to thank
them.

handful of states attempted to disrupt an
otherwise orderly process . Security agencies
will bring to justice all those arrested in the
process .
