Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, and National Christian Elders Forum, NCEF, yesterday congratulated the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, on his electoral victory. In separate congratulatory messages made available to journalists electronically in Abuja, CAN and the elder’s group also commended President Goodluck Jonathan for the spirit of sportsmanship in conceding defeat to his opponent. CAN President and Founder of Warri-based Word of Life Bible Church, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, in his message to Buhari also saluted Nigerians for a peaceful election and called for “harmony between Christians and Muslims in the quest for a prosperous Nigeria.” While praying for a prosperous future for Nigeria, Oritsejafor also praised President Jonathan for exhibiting sportsmanship in conceding defeat to Buhari. Secretary of NCEF, Pastor Bosun Emmanuel, in his congratulatory message said, “Despite the enormous tension and apprehension that preceded the election, Nigerians have demonstrated political maturity that elections can be won and lost without recourse to violence or acrimony.” While congratulating Buhari for his victory at the elections, NCEF wished him a successful tenure in office and “joined all Nigerians and indeed the entire world to commend his act of statesmanship, quality Christian and democratic character by his peaceful concession of defeat.” The organisation also encouraged all politicians in the country to play politics according to the admonition of Jonathan that “nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian.”
