Just In! President Jonathan Releases Early Statement On Electoral Defeat

    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
