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.

Unlike the Bubu in Aso Rock!

GEJ is Africa's role model, no be only temitemi own.

Watch my APC friends get angry on this.

Well good for them. Bird of a feather. A failure congratulating another rejected failure. If they have been good to their people would they have been rejected in the first instance?

GEJ we re sorry, APC scamed us! Walahi we dey miss you... things re not dsame

Gej, the hero of democracy

Now everyone will be praising GEJ coz he set a pace for others to follow. But the truth still remains even if he had won, Nigeria wouldn't be any better than it is at the moment

ISOKAY

He followed the example GEJ laid behind..... I hope more african leaders do same too

Buhari IS A DULLARD

does he still think he is president?

Congrats to u too

Our Role Model has Spoken

Hope we are seeing the positive impact of what GEJ did last year. other Africa leaders are now following his footsteps. Don't be surprise some APC members will come here call him the most corrupt president. we no them. APC can never appreciate good things





GEJ my hero. Father of African Democracy.
You did what BUHARI cannot do.

Hero of democracy had spoken.

God bless GEJ jare.

I hope when buhari will be booted out come 2019, he will emulate these role models by conceding defeat and vacate aso rock immediately?

I no wan hear say him try prove stubborn cos na dia wahala go cast.

Jonathan is a world class act , who has set the gold standard for statesmanship in Africa.

We can all see that it's beginning to rub off on other African leaders one after another.

Well said

GEJ plz help me tell this President that........

Jona jona
