3. Today,we are privileged to mark the longest period of unbroken democratic leadershipand 5th peaceful transfer of power from one democratically elected governmentto another in Nigeria.
4.Throughout the last four years, I respected the independence of INEC. I ensuredthat INEC got all the resources it needed for independent and impartialmanagement of elections in the country.
5. Allinterested parties are agreed that the recent elections, which except forpockets of unrest, were free, fair and peaceful.
6. I thankall the people who worked for our party, who campaigned and who voted for us. Ithank my fellow Nigerians, who, since 2003 have consistently voted for me.
