The Chairman of the World Igbo Congress (WIC), Ichie Dr. Larry
Udorji, has congratulated the new President-elect of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), on his victory at the Presidential polls
held last Saturday, March 28, 2015, reports ITRealms.
Dr. Udorji in a press statement made available to ITRealms in Maryland, United States of
America, described the election of retired General Buhari as a new phase in the
democratic growth of Nigeria, and expressed his gratitude to Nigerians for
defying all odds to ensure that they voted during the Presidential Election.
He also described Buhari as a dogged fighter who had
remained consistent in his fight against the socio-economic problems besetting
Nigeria, and expressed his hope that the retired General will deliver the
dividends of democracy to the Nigerian masses.
Udorji equally expressed his satisfaction that the Igbos
headed his earlier call on them to vote their conscience in the election, and
hoped that the administration of General Buhari will cater to the needs of the
Igbos.
He thanked President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding defeat,
and described him as a true democrat and sportsman.
Dr. Larry Udorji praised the Igbos for remaining calm and
law abiding both before and after the election. He also encouraged them to
continue in the same way in the forthcoming Gubernatorial and House of Assembly
election.
He further noted that the peaceful conduct of Saturday election
was a big relief to all Nigerians, and a panacea to the ailing Nigerian
economy.
