We truly miss our good old GEJ ... Here's what he said about the presidential election recently concluded in Benin Republic.

---> "Having followed the elections in the Republic of Benin very closely, I am very impressed with the orderly manner with which the administration of President Boni Yayi conducted those polls. They were adjudged peaceful, credible and transparent by local and international observers and President Yayi deserves commendation for providing the leadership that led to this outcome.
I also congratulate the people of the Republic of Benin for their role in the election and for showing the world that the Republic of Benin and its citizens have come of age in the practice of democracy.
I especially wish to appreciate the incumbent Prime Minister of the Republic of Benin, Mr. Lionel Zinsou, who was a candidate for President, for his exemplary conduct of conceding defeat and congratulating the choice of the people, Mr. Patrice Talon, on his victory at the polls. Such a gesture by Prime Minister Zinsou is rare and should be applauded by all statesmen as the highest display of patriotism and maturity.
Finally, I congratulate Mr. Patrice Talon on his victory and wish him a successful and peaceful tenure after his swearing in even as I urge that there should be no victor or vanquished in this process. All the Beninoise people are winners and have cause to be proud of their nation. GEJ."

When matured people talk, the world listens

That's the Democrat speaking. We only wish the military junta we have in agbada would take a cue from the legacies handed down to him on best practices for conducting an election, wherein he won't see elections as a means of conquest through the use of the military as was the case in the Rivers re-run elections.

A good man...was just too good to rule Nigeria cos he left some thieves to show dem selves. That's what our agbada wearing president took advantage of.

Our Civilized, wise, ebullient and matured xyz President. You remain the best Baba.

Is no easy to live by example....the rejected stone who turns to be the corner stone,God will bless you sir,this foundation you laid in African will surely stand.

At least PDP, APC and every Nigerian agree GEJ has every right to comment about credible elections. We must project our own just like SA did for Late Mandela.
