the 7th consecutive democratic transition of power in Nigeria and on that day,
we shall all be ushering in the 16th President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria,” Mustapha said.
“Gentlemen of the press, let me once again assure Nigerians and indeed the global community of President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to the seamless transfer of power to President-Elect, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“In a demonstration
of this commitment, the president has directed all relevant government
institutions to cooperate with and support the transition process through
engagement with the president-elect’s team.”
