On behalf of the government and the people of Kenya, and on my own behalf, I extend our heartfelt condolences to your presidency personally and through you to all Nigerians.

My government will respect the will of the people, ... I would like to congratulate all of you for participating peacefully in this historic occasion.

Government will no longer be run on the whims of individuals.

The era of roadside decisions, declarations have gone. My government's decisions will be guided by teamwork and consultations.

You have asked me to lead this nation out of the present wilderness and malaise on to the promised land, and I shall do so; I shall offer a responsive, transparent, and innovative leadership.

Leadership is a privilege to better the lives of others. It is not an opportunity to satisfy personal greed.
