Part of the statement read: “History will bear witness to the valiant efforts of patriotic Nigerians in this sensitive period of elections.
“Votes were cast, words were spoken, journeys were made and inevitably, in some cases, blows were exchanged. All these have gone to show the passion we sustain to see a better Nigeria; to craft a paradise for ourselves in the land of our birth and pride.
“I will not fail to express a resounding gratitude to everyone that saw this political process through. Truly, we have been able to show every observer from the international community, to purported political bigwigs and “godfathers,” even to the poor masses that must have lost faith in the process, that power indeed belongs to the people.
“I wish to reiterate that the reason for holding a public office at any level is to effectively provide a sustainable progress in the country of which the people will benefit. The people; the pinnacle of our service.
“To every Nigerian, I once again tender my appreciation for your unwavering support to myself and as well as my co-aspirants. We have definitely stepped closer to an inevitable political liberation.”
At 37, Nicolas was the youngest of all the presidential candidates who contested in the election.
