IN JUST ONE YEAR OF PMB!
God saved us from the clutches of looters!

In just one year of PMB in Office, I appreciate the spirit of planning put in place to change the mental destruction done to me as a citizen. I used to think that, once I graduate from school, I will have to print my CV and starts roaming into Government and Commercial buildIngs in the city because someone is waiting to offer me a job that will carter for my dreams. This kind of mindset came to me as a result of all the lies our visitors have always drummed into our ears whenever they came visiting us in school. "Read hard and work hard to get the job of your dream". They all drove in expensive cars, wore expensive dresses and chosen their ceremonial words. Not knowing that, the cars and the dresses are all parts of what they stole from public treasury. Their sugarcoated words were politically induced.
In all the most important years of my life, I mean the last 16 years, I was made to believe that a nation can fly without a single Airline, when nations like, Turkey, Ethopia and Malaysia are seen in the sky flying their national colors. I was also made to believe that there was nothing wrong with depending on foreign goods because, we are rich enough to keep importing everything we consume. But in just one year, I paid attention to the realities that are still dawning on me. When Buhari said, we cannot afford paying the salaries of the usual number of Ministers, we all raised against his statement. Now, I know that, he was talking about cutting cost against the culture of spendings known to Political office holders, also as a strong message to their families and relatives that there will be no business as usual. An orientation that not even the National Orientation Agency can handle. My point is that, the nitty-gritty of the PMB's days in just one year, is full of realities and great lessons that give one a moment to reflect on the burden of citizenship. Many have come to realize that, our economy was floating on a bubble, while few individulas in power were badly wrecking havoc to our economy and engaging dubious experts that are feeding us with fake statistics. We now knew why many of them were killing their political opponents just to remain in power. It's not because they want to steal more but, because they always need more time to cover up their mess. Their mess sure stinks beyond four years tenure, they struggle to do the second tenure to put a successor that will clean up their stinky political ass.
Finally, permit me to say that I am now an informed citizen with a brand new mentality and a better understanding of why I was not truly proud my country. I have no doubt that PMB is patrioptically committed in changing all physical structures, dealing with public servants with shrewd mentality and reviving our institutions.
IN JUST ONE YEAR, I KNEW WHAT CAUSES BOKO HARAM, WHY THE YOUTHS WERE JOBLESS, WHY OUR REFINARIES WERE SHUT DOWN, WHY ELDERS WERE MAKING HELL OF NOISE IN SUPPORT OF GEJ RETURNING TO POWER.

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE RESULTS OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 2015

Fellow Nigerians,
I thank you all for turning out en-masse for the March 28 General Elections.
I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word. I have also expanded the space for Nigerians to participate in the democratic process. That is one legacy I will like to see endure.
Although some people have expressed mixed feelings about the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), I urge those who may feel aggrieved to follow due process based on our constitution and our electoral laws, in seeking redress.
As I have always affirmed, nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. The unity, stability and progress of our dear country is more important than anything else.
I congratulate all Nigerians for successfully going through the process of the March 28th General Elections with the commendable enthusiasm and commitment that was demonstrated nationwide.
I also commend the Security Services for their role in ensuring that the elections were mostly peaceful and violence-free.
To my colleagues in the PDP, I thank you for your support. Today, the PDP should be celebrating rather than mourning. We have established a legacy of democratic freedom, transparency, economic growth and free and fair elections.
For the past 16 years, we have steered the country away from ethnic and regional politics. We created a Pan-Nigerian political party and brought home to our people the realities of economic development and social transformation.
Through patriotism and diligence, we have built the biggest and most patriotic party in Nigerian history. We must stand together as a party and look to the future with renewed optimism.
I thank all Nigerians once again for the great opportunity I was given to lead this country and assure you that I will continue to do my best at the helm of national affairs until the end of my tenure.
I have conveyed my personal best wishes to General Muhammadu Buhari.
May God Almighty continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I thank you all.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
President,
Federal Republic of Nigeria

Overview

The postponement of Nigeria’s fifth election since its return to civilian rule in 1999, together with fierce political competition, a security crisis and severe economic challenges linked to the drop in oil price, have thrown into sharp relief the challenges of conducting this essential process in such a complex environment. While there is widespread speculation as to the reasons for the delay, there is also widespread acknowledgment of the necessity that national elections do now take place as scheduled on 28 March.

General Muhammadu Buhari, former military ruler (1983-85) and now opposition presidential candidate, will discuss the importance of democracy for Africa’s future, and in particular why delivering dividends of elected government matter both to Nigeria and internationally.
