Fellow Nigerians,
I thank you all for turning out en-masse for the March 28 General Elections.
I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word. I have also expanded the space for Nigerians to participate in the democratic process. That is one legacy I will like to see endure.
Although some people have expressed mixed feelings about the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), I urge those who may feel aggrieved to follow due process based on our constitution and our electoral laws, in seeking redress.
As I have always affirmed, nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. The unity, stability and progress of our dear country is more important than anything else.
I congratulate all Nigerians for successfully going through the process of the March 28th General Elections with the commendable enthusiasm and commitment that was demonstrated nationwide.
I also commend the Security Services for their role in ensuring that the elections were mostly peaceful and violence-free.
To my colleagues in the PDP, I thank you for your support. Today, the PDP should be celebrating rather than mourning. We have established a legacy of democratic freedom, transparency, economic growth and free and fair elections.
For the past 16 years, we have steered the country away from ethnic and regional politics. We created a Pan-Nigerian political party and brought home to our people the realities of economic development and social transformation.
Through patriotism and diligence, we have built the biggest and most patriotic party in Nigerian history. We must stand together as a party and look to the future with renewed optimism.
I thank all Nigerians once again for the great opportunity I was given to lead this country and assure you that I will continue to do my best at the helm of national affairs until the end of my tenure.
I have conveyed my personal best wishes to General Muhammadu Buhari.
May God Almighty continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I thank you all.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
President,
Federal Republic of Nigeria

ReplyDeleteMr. President, the elections may have come and gone but the lessons remain in our hearts. While many celebrate the winner in a contest as it is traditionally, you have made us this day to celebrate not just the winner of a historic election but to celebrate your person too for being a winner, though not of our votes but our hearts. We know that many who supported you, did so for your strengths which include, respect for others, gentlemanliness, restorative abilities, consultative abilities, transformational achievements, humane disposition, sincerity and trust, which was your greatest undoing because many believe that leadership is the ability to crush others or whip them to submission but you proved them wrong.
True
DeleteMr GEJ had just redefined political defeat in naija history. He had succeeded in turning himself fron villian to hero.
ReplyDeleteMR PRESIDENT LET ME CONGRATULATE YOU. for making the best decision ever in tge history of your administration. Like most of Nigeria' s past leaders i never percieved you as a bad person but rather a leader surrounded by lying sycophants. A leader misled by criminal advisers.
Mr president i shared your believe that the unity of Nigeria is far far above anybody's personal ambition.
While congratulating you for being the leader who is responsible for q a new course for nigerian democracy let me borrow the adage ofthe incoming president to remind all Nigerians that we must continue supporting Naijas unity,peace,progress,growth and development.
I quote. " This generation and indeed the future generation of Nigeria has no other
Great!
