President-elect,Muhammadu Buhari, has been urged not to take Nigerians' mandate for granted as he prepares to assume office on May 29.
The Speaker of theWest African Students’ Union Parliament(WASUP),Samuel Solomon, gave the admonition on Thursday, shortly after the body gave an award of excellence to the chairman and members of theDelta State Independent Electoral Commission(DSIEC) in Asaba.
Solomon, a postgraduate student ofLegon University, Ghana, said Nigerians voted Buhari in because they rated him high and had confidence in his abilities.
“The mandate was given to him by the masses, he should not let them down; it is as simple as that," Solomon said.
"A lot of people went out under the sun and the rain to vote for him based on the fact that they felt he is a credible person.
"They have given him the mandate and they want to work with him, therefore the mandate should not be taken for granted because the way in is also the way out.
"What we expect from him is to institute good governance."
DSIEC Chairman,Moses Ogbe, commended the students for recognising the contributions of the commission to the growth of democracy in the country.
