President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday expressed his preference for a winner in yesterday’s presidential election to emerge from the first ballot, pledging to quit if he lost.
He also predicted a brighter future for Nigeria, saying it will never degenerate to Cote d’Ivoire’s situation.
He spoke shortly after casting his vote at 12.35 p.m in his Otueke home town.

Jonathan said: “If I lose, of course I will leave. That is the essence of using myself as an experiment. As to whether the election will go into a run-off, I pray that we don’t go into a bye-election, because of the cost implication.

“Nigeria is a very big country, if you calculate the colossal sum of money for the ad hoc staff, then for economic reason and to even reduce tension. We pray that whoever wins should win at the first ballot.”
He reiterated his promise not to influence the presidential election even though he was contesting as a sitting president.

“I am contesting the election as a sitting president and will not influence the process. That has been demonstrated in the conduct of the previous election. You can go and find out from the INEC,” he added.

Yawns

May God bless Jonathan and grant him the wisdom and power to stir the ship of our country aright.

I am more than excited about his victory for so many reasons chief among which is the fact that it signals the waining influence/retirement of people like IBB, OBJ, Atiku, Buhari, Ciroma etc all of whom belong to the decaying Nigeria. By 2015, I am sure all (that is if they are not all dead by then), except maybe Atiku would be totally irrelevant in the scheme of things in this country. Jonathan signals a subtle break-away from those ugly devil's advocates, a break-away from the do-or-die politics of OBJ and the nightmares of electoral frauds (even though there are still traces of them).

No matter our negative views about OBJ, there is no taking away the fact that God used him to bring about this change although he might have thought he was being wise. This fresh mandate has been given by the people and not by any godfather.

The President needs everyone's prayer and support at this time.

B4 nko? Is he gonna be another Mugabe?
