We are indeed experiencing a breath of fresh air in our electoral system presently under our overtly criticised president Goodluck Jonathan GCFR.

Not saying he is a saint or has performed well in all sectors but we must give kudos to him for changing the electoral terrian in the country by dissasociating from rigging and undue interventions in elections even though his party is clearly on the loosing side even before election kick off but provided a secure and enabling environ ment for a free and fair election. He did it in Imo (okorocha )now he has done it again in Edo.. This are signs of good things to come...Jona U got it right here!!!!

yes Edo people have spoken and they must be commended for coming out en masse to defend their mandate for asecond tenure .However If the president had wanted he would have used his powers to rig and daint the election process like in the past? June 12 ,etc but he didnt but instead ensured that edo was secured and all logistics fully on ground for a free and fair elections to hold with Acn his main opposition coasting home to victory...Nigerians should see change

Give it a rest. This is not about GEJ being genuinely democratic because we now have many examples that shows, conclusively, he is not. This is about a weak and cowardly Presidency choosing carefully who they can get away with bullying without overturning the precious 'Apple Cart'..

GEJ is a weakling who has never felt he deserves to be President. He is entirely autocratic and bullying, like the best of them, when sure no dangerous fallouts will result from his harsh actions !!! Is he not the same man who supervised the Ekiti farce, eventually overturned, while VP ? Did we not see him, Akunyili et al bullying the Ekiti REC, Ayoka Adebayo, like 'champions' back then?

Anyone remember the fuel subsidy saga where he ignored the submission of the Reps he had earlier tagged "the voice of the people"?

Deploying Soldiers autocratically against defenceless Lagosians Nko?

Do these hideously sycophantic folks know how Bamanga Tukur became PDP Chairman? Situations like that, where there will be no nationally disruptive backlash to worsen the woes of a weak and embattled Presidency, is when GEJ bares his vicious fangs!!!

Same with the farce in Bayelsa that saw Sylva removed for Dickson. Who will riot in protest? Bayelsans ?

GEJ just cannot afford to mess with hugely popular Oshiomhole because he realises, all things factored in, his regime is one unpopular action away from the sort of rebellion that brought down Mubarak et al.

stupid and incoherent minds who think we should be grateful to an incompetent man who is only allowing that, which is our constitutional right. We should be thankful that he didn't rig? Nigerians have been abused for far too long that they have now become demented, they can't tell what is their right anymore. Shame!

cool kiss wink So Nigerians should begin to thank GEJ for Edo elections .
I think some of us are just too irrational , so he should have try the rigging option ? That could cause final nail for him .
