Statement By President Goodluck Jonathan After Announcement Of presidential election results

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
