A statement from the Presidency on the Comrade’s victory reads:

“President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan congratulates Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State on his re-election yesterday for another term in office.

“President Jonathan also commends the Independent National Electoral Commission, its personnel and the nation’s security services for ensuring that the elections were free and fair in keeping with his administration’s commitment to continually strengthening democracy in Nigeria through the establishment of a more credible electoral system.

“The President urges Governor Oshiomhole to receive the fresh mandate given to him yesterday by the people of Edo State as an endorsement of his outstanding performance in his first term and an expression of their desire for a continuation of his focused, purposeful and dynamic leadership.

“He expects that the Governor will work even harder in his second term to justify the confidence in his leadership clearly expressed by the Edo State electorate yesterday and assures him that the Federal Government will continue to give all possible support and assistance for development in the state.

“President Jonathan wishes the Comrade-Governor continued good health and a successful second term in the service of Edo State and Nigeria.”
By Johnson J' Delight.

Well GEJ has no choice, the people have spoken

Well spoken

Nice one from Mr. President.

Gej kip shut infact u av increased ma hatred 4 reuben Abati! D cal of dat name s*c*s!

We all know how is it with second tenures. Edo state would probably regret re-electing as the new governor. BULLSHIT

Nice one from GEJ. Thank God you identified that osho really had a good first term

GEJ had no choice other than to congratulate man of the ppl.

No amount of rigging by any candidate's party would have denied d Comrade that governorship SEAT.
He more dan merit it.

we have a good president and a great one indeed.He had what it takes to rig the elections and also win in court.But rather he allowed the people of Edo state to decide.

The North have just used bokoharam to make his tenure a bad one. Ill ask every one to support GEJ as he continues to lead and only criticize with facts

This is what GEJ knws how to do best, congratulate and condem.

Azumy: Gej kip shut infact u av increased ma hatred 4 reuben Abati! D cal of dat name s*c*s!

As if ur hatred affects him. Stop hating cause its nt cool

Open your mouth and eat the humble pie.

Way better than OBJ with regards elections. Kudos to GEJ on this one. OBJ would have stolen the election colluding with IWU, and then sent soldiers to shoot people.

But why, oh why, the embarrassment of campaigning in Edo for a man any right thinking mand would know could never win a free and fair election? Futher diminishing yourself and the presidency?

You visited Edo twice for campaign, but you have not visited Yobe State.

9ce gesture by mr president leading by example let PDP governorship contestant also do d same thing,afterall t a demoractic victory 4 d pple.

gboss4sure:

As if ur hatred affects him. Stop hating cause its nt cool

i got ur point u r frm dsame town ko? Little wonder!

You gullible people really rile me up!!

See people spouting nonsense like "GEJ is a democrat" and "Nice one GEJ"

If GEJ knew all along that Oshiomhole was an 'outstanding performer' and 'dynamic, focused and purposeful' , why did he allow his Vice President Sambo and his aide Anenih to go to Edo State and try to drum up support for a PDP challenger in a PDP traumatised state?

Rubbish.

Because PDP didn't and were not allowed to rig, we should start praising GEJ? Isn't he paid to ensure we have fair elections?

Wetin e for talk before e get choice .

Just like gboss4sure said, you do not mata.

tnk u jare dnt myd d yeye pple! U r most definately on point

GEJ is gradually building our institutions to help achieve lasting growth. The expansion of the ACN is due to GEJ's commitment to free and fair elections. Since GEJ came, all attempts to rig has failed because he has no time for such politics. It is however unfortunate that the North is tarnishing his strides with insecurity.

If you only we will look, its easy to see many positives since GEJ came to power.

Most pple condemnin GEJ, i bet they were even impeached when they held several post such as headboys n headgals, course reps e.t.c whyl leadin less than a thousand pple n yet they open dia mouths unto a man leading over 150million pple. If e easy, y nt clamour n work 4 his impeachment and ur election so u gt ur butts up dia n do better?? Al u do is complain n even wen im do gud, u go stil complain. If u c him, ah bet stage frieght go catch u to talk even though him no b stage.

Silly comment. What would you do as a party member? Would knowing that Osho had a gud first term mean he shud not campaign for his party if he believes his candidate can do well.

Good Gej, osho carry go...
