Obama Hails Jonathan, Buhari by AleXis0r(m): 7:46pm On Apr 01, 2015
United States
President,Barrack Obama,
on Wednesday,
commended President
Goodluck Jonathan and
the President-elect,
Maj.Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd), for their
public commitments to
non-violence during their
campaigns.
Obama, in a statement
said President Jonathan
placed Nigeria’s interests
first by conceding defeat
while congratulating
Buhari on his victory.
“I look forward to working
with President Jonathan
throughout the remainder
of his term, and I thank
him for his many years of
service and his
statesmanlike conduct at
this critical juncture. I urge
President-elect Buhari and
President Jonathan to
repeat their calls to their
supporters to continue to
respect the election
outcomes, focus on
unifying the country, and
together lead Nigeria
through a peaceful
transition,”Obama stated.
The US President also
commended the large
turnout of voters, saying
this shows the strength of
Nigeria’s commitment to
democratic principles.
Obama also called for a
special honour for the
Independent National
Electoral Commission and
its Chairman, Attahiru
Jega.
According to him, the
electoral body and Jega
deserve special
recognition for the largely
peaceful and orderly
election.
The statement read, “I
commend INEC for its
extensive efforts to
increase the credibility and
transparency of the
electoral process.
Looking ahead to the
governorship elections on
April 11, it is imperative
that national attention
turn to ensuring isolated
logistical challenges are
overcome and peace is
protected, even in the
most hotly contested
races.
” On behalf of the
American people, I extend
congratulations to the
people of Nigeria and to
President-Elect Buhari and
look forward to
continuing to work with
the newly-elected
government on our many
shared priorities.”
