Ban Ki-moon Reacts To Nigeria’s Presidential Election by lalasticlala(m): 7:01pm On Apr 01, 2015
The UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, says the way the presidential election in Nigeria was conducted is “a testament” to Nigeria’s “democratic spirit”.

Mr. Ban Ki-Moon also commended President Goodluck Jonathan for “his statesmanship in upholding the democratic process”.

He applauded the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for organising the elections in a professional and credible “manner under challenging circumstances”.

The UN Chief then called on all Nigerians to accept the outcome of the elections.

He expressed hope that the same democratic spirit would prevail in the conduct of the governorship and state houses of assembly elections on April 11.

General Muhammadu Buhari was declared the winner of the Presidential election in the early hours of Wednesday and has received his Certificate of Return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He defeated Nigeria’s incumbent President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, by over 2 million votes, in a keenly contested election which held on Saturday, March 28, 2015.

This is the first time an opposition party is winning the presidential election in Nigeria.

Before handing over the certificate to General Buhari, the Chairman of INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega, pledged that the commission would continue to do its best, under all circumstances, to ensure free, fair and credible elections.

. President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan. President
emeritus, a man with laudable intergrity, you laid the
foundation for democracy for the first time in the
history of Nigeria, you cleaned up electoral process for
the very first time, you have written your name in Gold,
you have done well the whole world commends you, a gesture worth emulating and you have bowed out
honourably without mess! You are indeed a leader. We all know who the trouble makers are!!!!!! You sacrificed your presidency that Nigeria may know
peace and move forward. What manner of man is GEJ. A
special breed! Love for country over self and the lures
and lust of power. No wonder he is a child of destiny.
God has used him to show us that good can still come
out of Nigeria. I salute your courage. Every ruler has a purpose in God's overall agenda. You should be
celebrated like a true General of Nigeria who gave up all
for the sake of the Nation. A rare breed. You have
shown not only unparalleled strength of character and
capacity which your detractors do not possess. God
bless GEJ. With your likes, there is still hope for Nigeria. I believe even the opposition is shocked at such display
of strength of character by you. GEJ you have fufilled
purpose. God bless you GEJ for demonstrating the fact
that you're a true democrat.
A cow does not know the value of its tail until its
choped off. Nigerians will never forget you. You re a gentle man to the core, just that nigeria does not need
ur kinds. In developed nations you will make a legend.
Don't worry, no act of kindness goes unrepaid either
here or there after. Sincerely Nigerians will never forget
you. As for GMB, I sincerely congratulate him (though not
really happy)for his doggedness and persistence as he
never gave up which has paid off for him.
The burden has now shifted to you and APC to show if
you possess such unique character. We are waiting to
see if APC are true democrats of the breed of GEJ. Four years in the life of a nation is too short. It will come and
go before we know it. Let us look beyond 2015 and
towards 2019 to see if GMB and APC are truly committed
to the democratic advancement of Nigeria or that they
are mere opportunist who just took advantage of the
weaknesses of a true democrat. The POWER bestowed on the NIGERIA president by the
our constitution is enormous!!!!! President Goodluck
Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan has these powers in his hand to
weild his sword to his advantage... he could have decide
to take a drastic step and lots of lives will be lost, he
could (1) Annul the on-going Presidential election and stop
any further announcement just like IBB did in June 12,
1993 presidential election.
(2) Sack Professor Attahiru Jega.
(3) Declared a state of emergency in all states.
(4) Divide Nigeria back into Eastern Region, Northern Region, Western Region and Mid-Western with full
federalism.
(5) Appoint military administrators to manage all the
regions.
But he did NOT. Indeed he is a man of peace.
May the Almighty God bless GEJ. Amen

The UN, Americans and the Western world at large , who predicted the doom and division of Nigeria must be shocked and ashamed of their selves now. They are just sending their congratulatory messages out of shame.

Nigeria will be stronger and united by the day.

God bless Nigeria
God bless GMB
