PRESIDENT Goodluck
Jonathan, on Monday, said
those predicting and
prophesying doom for the
country on the basis of the
2015 general election would
be disappointed.

Jonathan stated this at an
interfaith conference
organised by the Interfaith
Initiative for Peace, with the
theme: “The Imperative of
Interfaith Understanding and
Cooperation for Responsible
Politics,” in Abuja.

He reminded them of the
killings and destruction that
greeted the 2011 elections,
including the killing of 10
youth corps members in
Bauchi, and vowed never to
let it happen again.

According to him, the defeat
of Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) in some of the polls
showed that he was not
using state security
apparatus to manipulate
elections in favour of his
party as alleged by the
opposition.

“My promise of free and fair
election is clear. All
governorship elections that
have been conducted so far,
you can agree with me that
they have been free and
fair.

“I am from the PDP, the ruling
party, but I don’t use that
strength to make sure that
PDP must win by all means.

“PDP has lost elections in
Edo State; we lost in
Anambra State, we lost
election in Ondo State, of
course only two days back,
we lost in Osun, but we know
and we are saying that this
country must change.

According to him, if he had
been manipulating elections
in the country, PDP would not have lost the series of governorship elections it lost
recently.

Who is the mumu qouting this Zoologists?

That is the plain truth, I know the APC Ebola carriers would want to argue this. Oshi radarada

I wonder what is wrong with his statement...someone is trying to make you understand that the deployment of troops during elections is not to rig in favour of his party neither to favour the oppositions, pointing the fact that his party has lost elections where troops were deployed.

Is this guy too daft to fire his speech-writer? Why would a president even mention election rigging like it's an option open to him. Some things even when true, should not be said.

egift: Who is the mumu advising this zoologist?

Did you even read the gist, as soon as you read GEJ you had to insult..

What he said is very true, the power of a Nigerian President is incredible,.. if he deploys that might PDP cannot loose any election....

prophetone: Is this guy too daft to fire his speech-writer? Who makes such a silly statement?

What is silly about his statement?I know your hatred for him won't make you to think straight!

What has the president said here that is warranting this insults?
Let us be sincere here, anyone attacking the president on this should ask himself this: would there be a free and fair election if Tinubu was at the helm of affairs in this nation? Can Tinubu be in power and not rig the election?
Anybody attacking this statement is either an APC apologist,not being truthful to himself or is just a slowpoke.

He has a point though.

Credit must be given to Jonathan for the heavy presence of security during election.I want to believe their presence have not been used to better PDP rather the people opted for the opposition.

Having said this,I want Jonathan to continue in this manner and to further channel this same energy to the Northeast that have been troubled by bokobastards.

My only grudge is why would the Security cover their faces during election?This facial covering is not only intimidating but totally unacceptable.I want to believe there are reasons for this.

So far so good,Jonathan has done well in terms of providing enough security during election.

Yes they are poke-slow or ron-mo

Have a question for you . Where was APC( ACN ,CPC ) when OBJ was Nigeria President ?

shegsky: Have a question for you . Where was APC( ACN ,CPC ) when OBJ was Nigeria President ?

Guiding Lagos State by massive rigging?

Just imagine the useless comment coming from the mouth of a president? When will Jonathan ever get things right?

What he said is a plain truth. if you doubt it, go and ask Obj. Haters will always hate!!

He is saying the truth, let us be sincere here

MzJackBaueress: Just imagine the useless comment coming from the mouth of a president? When will Jonathan ever get things right?

Are you sure you read the article before commenting?Or you just saw the headline!

prophetone: Is this guy too daft to fire his speech-writer? Why would a president even mention election rigging like it's an option open to him. Some things even when true, should not be said.

I don't understand you guys. The APC and its hungry apologists have been vociferous in their condemnation of the security measures put in place to maintain law and order in the recently concluded elections in Edo, Ekiti, and Osun. They alleged that the heavy military presence was meant to help the PDP win unfairly.

Now, the president has negated this allegation by citing the PDP's loss in Osun and Edo as evidence that he is not interested in using our security forces to favour his party. He also pointed out, rightly so, that if he had indeed used the security forces to rig the elections, the PDP would not have lost. How exactly is this an unreasonable thing to say?

In other words, the president just told the world that our electoral system is fatally flawed and can be manipulated by anyone who desires to do so!!!

Question is, why don't you work towards making it very difficult for anyone to manipulate the system?? Wouldn't that be a lasting legacy that even your children and children's children would benefit from after you are long gone

What happens in an event you leave the system rotten as it is and your successor decides to exploit the flaws to disenfranchise you and your people in the future

Sometimes I really don't blame those who insult the president. His utterances give him off as someone who's very deficient upstairs!!!

hhhmmm.

This man is working so hard to make sure that your votes and my votes count, and some people are here talking ru.bbish!!
Obj would have rigged all the elections if he so wishes and no body will cough, not even the national assembly!!

What is wrong with this man

Statements unbecoming of someone called a leader, as expected though.

All hope lost

egift: Who is the mumu advising this zoologist?

He is advice a bastard nonentity fool like egift and co

PassingShot: Nonesense!

Bastard

prophetone: Is this guy too daft to fire his speech-writer? Why would a president even mention election rigging like it's an option open to him. Some things even when true, should not be said.

shut up joor. How else would he press his idea of a free election; you people just make issues out of non issues. So it is an offence to absolve himself from election rigging?

Till you stop prostitution as a profession

MzJackBaueress: Just imagine the useless comment coming from the mouth of a president? When will Jonathan ever get things right?

One day soon, you will make sense when it comes to Jonathan. For now keep talking nonsense, we understand your plight.
