Official statement by president Jonathan after the
announcement of the results of presidential
election
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
March 31, 2015
