National Broadcast By President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Gcfr by Nobody: 8:27am On Mar 27, 2015
Dear Compatriots,
1. As we prepare to go to the polls
tomorrow, I have come before you
this morning to express my
immense appreciation for the
opportunity you gave me to lead
this great nation of ours in the past
four years.
2. I also wish to place on record,
once again, my sincere gratitude for
the support you have given my
administration without which the
significant progress we have made
in recent years would not have
been possible.
3. In spite of the many challenges
we have had to contend with since
1999, our present democratic
dispensation continues to endure
and grow stronger in keeping with
the yearnings and aspirations of
our people.
4. We have all worked very hard to
nurture and strengthen our
democratic institutions and
promote the good governance
practices which they were designed
to deliver for the better well-being
of our people.
5. I believe I can say without fear of
contradiction that we all clearly
cherish the democracy we now
have and will never willingly give it
up for any other form of
governance.
6. This much-cherished democracy
of ours is about to be put to the test
once again.
7. I urge you all to troop out en-
masse to peacefully perform your
civic duty of voting for leaders of
your choice tomorrow.
8. As we do so, let us all - political
party leaders, contestants, party
members, party agents, supporters
and ordinary voters alike, be very
conscious of the fact that the eyes
of the entire world are on us.
9. We must therefore comport
ourselves in a manner that will
further strengthen our democracy
and consolidate our place in the
comity of truly democratic nations.
10. I made a commitment on
assumption of office to
progressively deliver freer, fairer
and more credible elections in our
country. In keeping with that
commitment, the Federal
Government has given the
Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) all necessary
support to ensure that it conducts
very successful elections tomorrow
and on April 11.
11. We have all been assured that
INEC is fully ready for the elections.
I believe that we can all trust that
they are certainly more ready now
than they may have been before
security issues and other concerns
necessitated a re-scheduling of the
dates for the 2015 general
elections.
12. As an administration, we
welcome the fact that millions of
Nigerians who were yet to receive
their Permanent Voters Cards
(PVCs) as at February 14, and would
therefore have been unfairly
disenfranchised if the polls had
gone ahead on that date, have
seized the opportunity of the re-
scheduling to collect their cards and
can now exercise their right to vote
tomorrow.
13. We are also glad that our gallant
Armed Forces have successfully
stemmed the seizure of Nigerian
territories in the North-East by the
terrorist group, Boko Haram.
14. They have recaptured most of
the communities and territories
formerly occupied by the
insurgents, making it possible for
thousands of internally-displaced
Nigerians to begin returning to
their homes and communities.
15. I heartily commend the very
courageous men and women of our
Armed Forces for the immense
sacrifices which they continue to
make in defending the nation and
protecting its citizens.
16. I also thank all Nigerians for
keeping faith with us over the past
six weeks.
17. I call on all political parties and
politicians in the country to allow
the free, unfettered will of our
people to be expressed without any
hindrance in the coming elections
in keeping with the hallowed
principles and tenets of democratic
governance which we all profess.
18. The will of the people freely
expressed through the ballot is the
bedrock of all democracies and
ours cannot be an exception.
19. Let us all therefore be prepared,
as true democrats, to graciously
accept the outcome of the elections
as the rightful choice of our people
from whom all political powers in
our democracy must emanate.
20. My administration has done its
utmost best in the past four years
to deliver on our promise to
positively transform our country.
21. Tomorrow’s election is another
very important milestone as we
continue our march towards the
fulfillment of our God-given
potential for greatness.
22. The election offers us another
opportunity to empower leaders of
our choice once again, and to show
the world that genuine democracy
is alive and well in our beloved
nation.
23. I will like to restate my belief
that no political ambition can justify
violence or the shedding of the
blood of our people.
24. I reaffirm once again, my
personal preparedness to ensure
fair play during the elections and to
deploy the resources and
institutions of state only in the
manner prescribed by our laws.
25. Let me warn, however, that as
President, Commander-In-Chief of
the Armed Forces, I am under oath
to protect the lives of all Nigerians
and the security of our country at
all times. I will never abdicate my
responsibilities in that regard.
26. Democracy allows dissent. It
encourages differences and even
fervent disagreements. But
elections must never be mistaken
for war or an opportunity to set
fellow citizens against each other
and tear our beloved nation apart.
27. Those who may harbor any
intentions of testing our will by
unleashing violence during the
elections in order to advance their
political ambitions should think
again as all necessary measures
have been put in place to ensure
that any persons who breach the
peace or cause public disorder
during or after the elections are
speedily apprehended and
summarily dealt with according to
our laws.
28. The nation’s security agencies
are also fully prepared and ready to
deal decisively with any group or
persons who attempt to disrupt the
peaceful conduct of the elections or
cause any form of public disorder.
29. Our dear country, Nigeria is the
largest democracy amongst black
nations of the world. We are a
nation of great accomplishments,
with a proud history of evolving
affinities.
30. Let us go out tomorrow to vote
peacefully and set a fitting example
of political maturity for other
emerging democracies to follow.
31. I wish you all and our dear
nation, very peaceful and successful
elections.
32. May God Almighty continue to
bless the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
33. I thank you all.
