STATEMENT BY H.E. JERRY RAWLINGS ON
OUTCOME OF Nigeria's ELECTIONS
Posted by JJ Rawlings
“Nigerians have taken the lead in the rejection of
corruption. The election result is a manifestation
of the people’s resolve to confront corruption,
dishonesty and exploitation.
This is a clear message to the new leadership. A
bold step has been taken towards a new Nigeria
and the incoming leader cannot be unaware of
what is expected of him.
Nigerians did not vote for just anyone. They
voted for a man whose integrity is extremely
high. Nigeria is tired of corruption and the choice
of this leader is a clear indication of where she
wants to go. I hope General Buhari will put
together a team whose understanding of the
power of the people recognizes and respects the
will of the people.
General Buhari owes it to his people and to Black
Africans, the restoration of our pride and the
black man’s dignity.
“The image of President Jonathan, a Nigerian
Head of State climbing up the stairs to go and
complain about Boko Haram to a French
President is an image I hope I will not see again.”

Rawlings always says it as it is. The bitter truth without sugar or vaseline. It has begun now. GEJ is an outgoing and impotent President and other outspoken world leaders will begin to let Jonathan know precisely what they think of him.

Its a pity that GEJ allowed himself to be dragged into international disrepute as a result of mediocre men he surround himself with.

Stop with the excuses. GEJ is very mediocre and corrupt himself. He was an accidental President not fit to occupy the position fate and godfather machinations put him in. Let us not sugarcoat that fundamental truth to then be blaming Jonathan's failure on "bad advisers".
