He said Nigerians expect so much from them, therefore, the hope of the so much anticipated positive change must not be dashed.

Adefowora, in a statement made available to Sunday Worship, in Abuja, felicitated with all elected leaders but reminded them to remember the sacrifices people made to elect them, saying the mandate given to them is not to amass wealth to the detriment of the masses.

“My last word goes to all the newly elected leaders, I congratulate them and rejoice with them. First, the President- elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) and all the newly elected governors and legislators. They must not forget that people voted them in because they needed leaders who will truly care for them and serve them better.

“They must make sure that they keep and fulfill all their promises before their four years in office expire. Nigerians are expecting so much from them and I pray that God will help and strengthen them to fulfill their promises.

“I will support this government both spiritually and physically and together we shall take Nigeria to the next level,” he said and admonished Nigerians to give thanks to Almighty God for successful elections, adding that God had turned the fear of our general elections to national testimony.

He maintained that people must not take God’s mercy for granted.

Consequently, the cleric called for thanksgiving service to be held “before handling over day, preferably on Sunday, May 17, 2015 to appreciate and celebrate God of heaven who had done us well.

“I thank all our religious leaders for their tireless prayers and messages of peace that they have been preaching to make sure that peace reign nationwide.

“I also salute the courage of our beloved President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for allowing God to use him to establish peace and unity nationwide by accepting the result of the election without causing any crisis,” Adefowora said.
