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.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.
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.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
President,
Federal Republic of Nigeria
