President  Goodluck Ebele Jonathan congratulates Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State on his victory in Saturday's governorship election in the state. The President commends the Independent National Electoral Commission and national security agencies for ensuring that the elections were free, fair, credible and peaceful in keeping with the avowed commitment of his Administration.

President Jonathan also applauds the people of Osun State who came out en masse yesterday in all the local government areas of the state to peacefully and freely exercise their democratic right, trusting in his assurance that all necessary measures would be taken to ensure their safety and the sanctity of their votes.

The President  believes  that the free, fair and peaceful conduct of the elections have fully reaffirmed his administration's determination  to positively reform Nigeria's electoral processes.

The outcome of the election has also given the lie to the false, unfair and uncharitable allegations that measures put in place by the Federal Government for the Ekiti and Osun State elections were partisan and designed to achieve a favourable outcome for his party.

As Governor Aregbesola prepares to begin a second term in office, President Jonathan looks forward to continuing to work with him and other state governors to further improve the living conditions of Nigerians in Osun and other states of the country.

He wishes Governor Aregbesola continued good health and a successful second term in office.

Leadership in display. Gud one Jonathan.

Let them give Omisore a 'pacifier' so he can stop sulking and congratulate Aregbe like a good sportsman.
Does anyone know another African state where they use sojamen to harass voters/opponents?

Absolutely NO bitterness and names calling; Sign of maturity

President Jonathan looks forward to continuing to work with him

jonathan go and sit down! Don't come infect our Working governor with cluelessness! Nonesense! Go and continue working with, Omisore and Fayose, we don't need you in State Of Osun ebola!

NgeneUkwenu: Okay! But when are you evacuating the over 75,000 service men you deployed to conquer the innocent State Of Osun, Ebola?

Evacuate them so you and your gang can go on killing spree and accuse the man that lost election abi?

Only a criminal or evil person is afraid of security personnel, if you are free and have no skeleton in your cupboard, you won't have a problem even if 1 million security men are deployed to your state.

Free and fair election is big achievement.

ahaika23: GEJ is a great man

Only Posterity shall judge him well for introducing free and fair election in Nigeria.

This will make politicians to seat tight and deliver democratic dividends to the electorates.


Rigging dead since 2011…

I was expecting this from you...kudos Mr. President!

NgeneUkwenu:

jonathan go and sit down! Don't come infect our Working governor with cluelessness! Nonesense! Go and continue working with, Omisore and Fayose, we don't need you in State Of Osun ebola!

I tell you...the worse part of it is that most of them don't even know when to criticise or lay blame on Mr President...imagine an election that was peaceful as Osun without any report of death(violence) or snatching of balot box yet some persons are still head bent on criticising him...anyway posterity would stand for him!

I keep loving this man's action every single day . He plays politics with no strings attached, no bitterness, full of wisdom

Why the hatred? Madame.
You are here hating on him when he doesn't even know of your existence.

Thats the spirit. . Mr. President!

All hail the President

Cos of the free n fair election

He never chose the path of OBJ who through Maurice Iwu arm twisted the electorate into accepting his chosen ones even when he possibly and visibly can. OBJ who made mockery of the masses by conducting a gathering of deceit with incessant issues of violence and thuggery. GEJ we that are with you are much more than they that are against you including boko haram. God bless you.

Well said Mr President.

The oppositions leadership should take a cue from this and accept defeat whenever it confronts them rather than embark on baseless slander and blackmail

Now Jonathan deserves a thumb-up......
But please also congratulate APC in 2015 presidential polls for winning.

Congrat in disguise





Am loving NL so much today, just keep making first page comment
