“We have ran a good race and fought a gallant battle.
“We are bowed but not cowed.
“We lost the crown but we gained a trophy.
“The PDP family must not despair;
“If it took General Buhari 30 years to come back to power, it should take us much less.
“For the opportunities we have had we give God All the Glory.
“To millions of our supporters we say thanks
“To those who are our adversaries, the battle has been fought, and it has been won & lost
“The strife is over for the next four years ONLY.
“We rejoice with APC and the people of Nigeria on the progress we have jointly made in our democratic journey.
“For our democracy to endure it is important that the winner clearly emerges while the loser concedes with equanimity.
“Certainly we will be back. We will overcome this defeat and rise again to power and glory
“In a twinkle of an eye.
“God bless Nigeria.”
