Nigerian Celebrities Congratulate Buhari

 

The much expected Presidential elections have come and gone but reactions and celebration still trail the emergence of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari as the President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Nigerian entertainment stars are not left out of the frenzy that pervades the air considering the fact that ever since the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Buhari as winner of the Presidential election staged last Saturday, more entertainers have continued to shower Buhari with warm wishes.

Social media went abuzz as some of the stars took to various social media platforms to comment on the elections and the sportsmanship spirit displayed also by President Goodluck Jonathan who was humble enough to accept defeat before the official results were announced by INEC.

Some of the comments of popular entertainment personalities who expressed their wishes to the new President are captured below:

Popular radio and TV presenter, IK Osakioduwa stated, "Congratulations to all Nigerians. Today, we have shown that we are able to have differing opinions but still maintain our respect for choice."
