But so far, it has not been a happy new year for the Nigerian people.

"The Nigerian people will not allow the military to take over again."

The Nigerian people took to the streets in large numbers to protest the election's annulment.

The Nigerian people are ready to die for democracy.

I'm convinced that for the first time in the history of this country the voice of the Nigerian people is being heard.

It is, after all, the Nigerian people we are talking about, and they deserve a better future and serious elections.

Finally, especially today, my sympathy goes to the Nigerian people on the death of their President.

I would also like to take the opportunity to express my condolences to the Nigerian people in connection with the death of the president.

We are convinced that the Nigerian people would not peacefully accept another military regime.

The Nigerian people will start to express what they desire out of my father in the month after his release.
