Fellow Nigerians,<\/p>\n
I thank you all for turning out en-masse for the March 28 General Elections.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
As I have always affirmed, nobody\u2019s ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. The unity, stability and progress of our dear country is more important than anything else.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I also commend the Security Services for their role in ensuring that the elections were mostly peaceful and violence-free.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I have conveyed my personal best wishes to General Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n
May God Almighty continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
I thank you all.<\/p>\n
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR<\/p>\n
