My fellow Nigerians,

I am profoundly humbled that you have elected me to serve as the 16th president of our beloved
republic. This is a shining moment in the life of any man and affirmation of our democratic existence.
From my heart, I say thank you.

Whether you are Batified, Atikulated, Obidient, Kwankwasiyya, or have any other political affiliation, you
voted for a better, more hopeful nation and I thank you for your participation and dedication to our
democracy.

You decided to place your trust in the democratic vision of a Nigeria founded on shared prosperity and
one nurtured by the ideals of unity, justice, peace and tolerance. Renewed hope has dawned in Nigeria.

We commend INEC for running a free and fair election. The lapses that did occur were relatively few in
number and were immaterial to the final outcome. With each cycle of elections, we steadily perfect this
process so vital to our democratic life.

Today, Nigeria stands tall as the giant of Africa. It shines even brighter as the continent’s biggest
democracy.

I thank all who supported my campaign. From President Buhari who adeptly led my campaign as its
chairman, to my Vice Presidential Candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima.

To the progressive governors of our party and this nation, to the party leadership, to our loyal party
members. I owe you a debt of gratitude. To the entire campaign organization, I thank you sincerely.
I thank my loving wife and dear family whose support was ceaseless and inspiring. Without you, this
victory would not be possible.

I am grateful to Almighty God. By His mercy, I was born a son of Nigeria and through His sublime
purpose I find myself the victor of this election. May He grant me the wisdom and courage to lead the
nation to the greatness He alone has destined for it.

Finally, I thank the Nigerian people for their abiding belief in our democracy. I shall be a fair leader to all
Nigerians. I will be in tune with your aspirations, charge up your energies and harness your talents to
deliver a nation that we can be proud of.

To my fellow candidates, former VP Atiku, former governor Kwankwaso, former governor Obi and all
others, I extend the hand of friendship. This was a competitive, high-spirited campaign.

To my fellow candidates, former VP Atiku, former governor Kwankwaso, former governor Obi and all
others, I extend the hand of friendship. This was a competitive, high-spirited campaign.

You have my utmost respect.

Political competition must now give way to political conciliation and inclusive governance.

During the election, you may have been my opponent but you were never my enemy. In my heart, you
are my brothers.

Still, I know some candidates will be hard put to accept the election results. It is your right to seek legal
recourse. What is neither right nor defensible is for anybody to resort to violence. Any challenge to the
electoral outcome should be made in a court of law, and not in the streets.

I also ask my supporters to let peace reign and tensions fade. We ran a principled, peaceful and
progressive campaign. The aftermath of our campaign must be as benign.
Yes, there are divisions amongst us that should not exist. Many people are uncertain, angry and hurt; I
reach out to every one of you. Let the better aspects of our humanity step forward at this fateful
moment. Let us begin to heal and bring calm to our nation.

Now, to you, the young people of this country, I hear you loud and clear. I understand your pains, your
yearnings for good governance, a functional economy and a safe nation that protects you and your
future.

I am aware that for many of you Nigeria has become a place of abiding challenges limiting your ability to
see a bright future for yourselves.

Remodeling our precious national home requires the harmonious efforts of all of us, especially the
youth. Working together, we shall move this nation as never before.

My running mate, Vice President-elect Shettima, and I understand the challenges ahead. More
importantly, we also understand and deeply value the talent and innate goodness of you, the Nigerian
people. We pledge to listen and to do the difficult things, the big deeds, that put us on the path of
irreversible progress. Hold us firmly to account, but please give us a chance first.

Together, we shall build a brighter and more productive society for today, tomorrow and for years to
come.

Today, you have given me the greatest honor you can bestow on one man.

In return, I will give you my utmost as your next president and commander-in-chief. Peace, unity and
prosperity shall be the cornerstones of the society we intend to build. When you gaze upon what we
shall accomplish in the coming years, you shall speak with pride at being a Nigerian.

I thank you all.


God bless you all.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

1. As a teacher, I will analyze the given text using the mental process of sense, senser, and the
phenomenon of Systemic Functional grammar.
In this text, the senser is the person who is speaking or writing the words, and in this case, it is the
individual who has been elected as the 16th president. The sense refers to the meaning or intention
behind the text. The senser expresses a sense of profound humility and gratitude for being elected as
the president. They acknowledge the significance of this moment both in their personal life and in the
broader context of the democratic existence of the republic.

Now let's examine the text using the phenomenon of Systemic Functional grammar. Systemic Functional
grammar focuses on the functional aspects of language and how it is used to communicate meanings in
different contexts.

The text begins with the statement, "I am profoundly humbled." Here, the senser expresses their
emotional state of being deeply humbled by the election. The word "profoundly" emphasizes the
intensity of this feeling.

The next phrase, "that you have elected me to serve as the 16th president of our beloved republic,"
provides information about the action that has taken place (the election) and the role that the senser
will assume (the 16th president). The word "beloved" indicates the emotional connection the senser has
towards the republic.

The following sentence, "This is a shining moment in the life of any man and affirmation of our
democratic existence," serves as an evaluative statement. The senser describes the election as a
significant and positive event, emphasizing its importance not only for themselves but also in terms of
affirming the democratic nature of the republic.

Finally, the senser concludes with the expression of gratitude, saying "From my heart, I say thank you."
This conveys a sincere appreciation for the opportunity given to them.

As a teacher, I would encourage further analysis of the text, including identifying specific grammatical
structures and linguistic choices that contribute to the overall meaning and effect of the message.
Understanding the use of language in different contexts helps us appreciate the power and nuances of
communication.

The text suggests that regardless of one's political affiliation, the individual participated in the act of
voting for a better and more hopeful nation. This phenomenon is being perceived and experienced by
the reader, who is addressed as "you" in the text.

It is important to note that while Systemic Functional Grammar analyzes the structure and functions of
language, it does not directly address political affiliations or evaluate the content of political statements.
The analysis above focuses on identifying the elements within the framework of the grammar system.

3. In this text, we can identify the mental process of "You decided" as the main focus. It represents the
decision-making and cognitive activity of the subject (you) in choosing to place trust in the democratic
vision of Nigeria. The senser, in this case, is the subject (you) who engages in the mental process.

The phenomenon of the mental process is "to place your trust in the democratic vision of a Nigeria
founded on shared prosperity and one nurtured by the ideals of unity, justice, peace, and tolerance."
This phenomenon describes the object of the mental process, indicating what the subject is deciding to
do.

Additionally, the text mentions "renewed hope has dawned in Nigeria," which signifies a shift in mental
state or perception. This statement indicates a positive change and a sense of optimism in Nigeria.
Overall, the text portrays the mental process of decision-making and the subsequent positive change or
shift in perception within the context of Nigeria's democratic vision.

4. In analyzing the given text using the mental process of Systemic Functional Grammar, we can identify
the following elements:

1. Sense: The overall sense of the text is to express commendation for the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) for successfully conducting a free and fair election. It also acknowledges
that while some lapses occurred, they were relatively few and did not significantly impact the final
outcome. The text emphasizes the importance of continuously improving the electoral process for the
sake of democracy.

5. In Systemic Functional grammar, the mental process of sense, senser, and phenomenon is used to
analyze the meaning and structure of texts. Let's apply this analysis to the given text:
"I thank all who supported my campaign. From President Buhari who adeptly led my campaign as its
chairman, to my Vice Presidential Candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima."

1. Sense: The sense refers to the mental process or action performed in the text. In this case, the sense
is the act of thanking.

2. Senser: The senser is the entity performing the sense. Here, the senser is the speaker, the person who

phenomenon includes all those who supported the speaker's campaign. Specifically, it includes
President Buhari, who led the campaign as its chairman, and Senator Kashim Shettima, the Vice
Presidential Candidate.

So, in this text, the speaker (senser) expresses gratitude (sense) towards President Buhari and Senator
Kashim Shettima (phenomenon) for their support in the campaign.

Please note that Systemic Functional grammar is a linguistic framework used to analyze language
structure, and its application may vary depending on the specific context and interpretation.

6. In Systemic Functional Grammar, the mental process of sense refers to the cognitive process of
perceiving or conceptualizing an event or state of affairs. The senser is the entity that carries out this
process, while the phenomenon is the actual event or state of affairs being perceived. Let's analyze the
given text using these concepts:

Today, Nigeria stands tall as the giant of Africa. (Mental Process: sense; Senser: not explicitly mentioned;
Phenomenon: Nigeria standing tall as the giant of Africa.)

In this sentence, the mental process of sense involves perceiving or conceptualizing Nigeria's current
status as the giant of Africa. The senser, which is not explicitly mentioned, can be understood as the
readers or the general public who recognize Nigeria's prominent position. The phenomenon is Nigeria
standing tall as the giant of Africa.

It shines even brighter as the continent’s biggest democracy. (Mental Process: sense; Senser: not
explicitly mentioned; Phenomenon: Nigeria shining brighter as the continent's biggest democracy.)

Here, the mental process of sense is involved in perceiving or recognizing Nigeria's increasing
prominence as the continent's biggest democracy. The senser can be understood as the same readers or
the general public who perceive this development. The phenomenon is Nigeria shining even brighter as
the continent's biggest democracy.

In summary, the mental process of sense is used to perceive or conceptualize Nigeria's status as the
giant of Africa and its increasing prominence as the continent's biggest democracy. The senser can be
considered as the readers or the general public, while the phenomena are Nigeria standing tall as the
giant of Africa and shining even brighter as the continent's biggest democracy.

In the text you provided, we can analyze it using the framework of Systemic Functional Grammar,
focusing on the concepts of sense, senser, and phenomenon within the mental process.

Sense refers to the meaning or purpose conveyed by the text. In this case, the sense revolves around the
speaker's aspirations and promises as a presidential candidate. They express their intention to provide
peace, unity, and prosperity as fundamental principles of the society they aim to construct.
Senser represents the entity or individual experiencing or perceiving the sense. In this text, the senser is
implied to be the speaker, who is assuming the role of the next president and commander-in-chief.

Phenomenon refers to the event or state that the senser is perceiving or experiencing. The phenomenon
described here includes the achievements and progress that the speaker expects to accomplish in the
upcoming years, prompting a sense of pride in being Nigerian.

Overall, the text reflects the mental process of envisioning and projecting a positive future for the
society, with the speaker expressing their commitment to leadership and the desired outcomes.

In Systemic Functional Grammar, the text you provided can be analyzed as follows:

1. "I thank you all."
