Mohammadu Buhari

A New Dawn Has Come!

Fellow Nigerians, yesterday we witnessed change come to our beloved fatherland with the successful elections aimed at transferring power from a democratically elected leader to another.

We, The Nigerian Community in Turkey wish to send our heartfelt congratulations to the President-Elect, General Mohammadu Buhari for his victory at the polls, which, by extension is a Nigerian victory. This is a sharp deviation from the body polity of the past and also sends a loud signal to the West African sub-region and indeed, Africa as a whole, that democracy in Nigeria has run full circle.

The road ahead may be tedious, our climb may be steep but the prayers and support of a people who called for change are behind you.

In congratulating our dear President - Elect, we draw some lessons from his life and time as an opposition party candidate, after failing at the polls one time after the other, he emerges today as the popular choice of a multi tribal and cultural people going forward. This tenacity is the Nigerian story, that we owe it to all, to strive towards building an all inclusive Federation where the rights, security, aspirations and goals of every Nigerian is not trampled on in any way, shape or form. Our National creed passed down through generations of political experimentations has been brought to fore.

Congratulations General Buhari, thank you President G.E. Jonathan and long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria. A New Dawn Has Come!
