Under The Rain, Under The Sun, I Will Be For Jonathan - Reno Omokri

Official statement by president Jonathan after the announcement of the results of presidential election

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.

The Federal Government on Tuesday declared Friday 3rd April, and Monday 6th April as public holidays to mark the Good Friday and Easter Monday celebrations respectively.
