President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has affirmed that his Administration will give the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) all the support it requires to conduct elections that meet global standards of acceptability next year.

Speaking at an audience with the new European Union (EU) Ambassador and Head of Delegation to Nigeria, Mr. David Macrae, on Thursday, September 2, President Jonathan said that the Federal Government was very aware of the great importance of the elections to the future stability of Nigeria and will welcome more assistance from the EU and Nigeria’s other development partners to assure its success.

The President told Mr. Macrae who was at the Presidential Villa to present his letters of credence that the Federal Government also recognized that because of Nigeria’s strategic importance in Africa, the international community had a keen interest in the general elections scheduled for early next year.

“The elections are very important and your concerns are genuine. Nigeria is very important globally because of its huge population, amongst other factors. A stable Nigeria will foster stability in West Africa and the rest of Africa. Successful elections next year will help us achieve greater political stability and we will appreciate further assistance from the EU for the elections,” he told Mr. Macrae.

Also today at the Presidential Villa, President Jonathan received the letters of credence of the new Ambassador of Ireland to Nigeria, Mr. Kyle O’Sullivan and the new Australian High Commissioner, Mr. Ian McConille.

At separate audiences with the new envoys, he called for improved economic cooperation between Nigeria and their countries, saying that Nigeria particularly wished to learn from Australia’s expertise in the commercial exploitation of solid minerals.

Mr. McConille assured President Jonathan that Australia will fully support the development of Nigeria’s enormous potentials in the solid minerals sector.

He noted that the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Alhaji Musa Mohammed Sada is currently participating in a Mining Conference in Australia.

Long live the President.

credible elections can only hold when you begin to tell us your programmes and stop intimidating others with EFCC.

What programmes are you asking for? You no dey dis country?. Fine, democracy allows for freedom of choice which you are free to exercise. But looking out for every opportunity to criticise GEJ is not as fashionable as you think.

In a credible election, other parties would be able to run for the presidency fairly!

I Pray OOOOOOOOO,Na still PDP (People Deceiving People)

Credible Elections Will Foster Political Stability -jonathan

DUH!!! way to state the obvious mr. president. What were you expecting, a nod in agreement?, a clap?, or a pat on the back?

I wish he phrased it as “Credible Candidates Will Foster Political Stability”. If Goodluck Jonathan runs under PDP as against section (7-2C) of the party’s constitution, he will less than credible candidate.
