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

ReplyDeleteSir gudluck u have really done well for nigeria May God bless and keep, we also blv that Buhari will do a more better job than you did, May God bless NIGERIA.
ReplyDeleteExactly what a good leader should do. Not threatening to make another man's regime ungovernable. I salute you mr. President
ReplyDeleteThe north would have been burning right now if it was buhari that was defeated.Buhari's brothers(the hausa-fulanis)would have killed more than 10000 innocent nigerians by now.and Buhari would have kept quiet as he did in 2011.Nigerians just rewarded wickedness by electing Buhari
ReplyDeleteOnly a few can act this way looking at what Buhari did in 2011. Yes, we rewarded wickedness with fair play. I hope Buhari and his supporters learn. They win, they scare people. They lose, they kill people. Smh! May God of justice fight. Because I don't care if Buhari dies tomorrow. His wickedness has not been forgotten. He who lives by the sword dies by same thus says the bible. You know Buhari's true color after he looses an election and when he is in power not the pretense of campaign
ReplyDeleteIs it true he was ones a dictator?.Damn!...... Africans we should be watchful of our colonial masters involvement into our politics, they want a yes sar on the healm take gives away our resources and hard earned taxes
ReplyDeleteThere is no how u will please people no matter how hard u try, Jonathan has tried and he has shown that he is mature and learned. Lets watch and see how Buhari will change this Nation when the likes of Tinubu, Amechi, Rochas, El Rufai etc are working with him.
