US President Barack Obama has praised President
Jonathan for conceding defeat in the recently held
presidential election. In a statement released today,
President Obama said President Jonathan through
his action placed Nigeria's interest first. The full
statement below...




The last few days have shown the world the
strength of Nigeria’s commitment to
democratic principles. By turning out in large
numbers and sometimes waiting all day to
cast their votes, Nigerians came together to
decide the future of their country peacefully. I
commend President Goodluck Jonathan and
President-Elect Muhammadu Buhari for their
public commitments to non-violence
throughout the campaign. President Jonathan
has placed his country’s interests first by
conceding the election and congratulating
President-Elect Buhari on his victory.
I look forward to working with President
Jonathan throughout the remainder of his
term, and I thank him for his many years of
service and his statesmanlike conduct at this
critical juncture. I urge President-Elect
Buhari and President Jonathan to repeat their
calls to their supporters to continue to
respect the election outcomes, focus on
unifying the country, and together lead
Nigeria through a peaceful transition.
Nigeria’s Independent National Election
Commission (INEC) and its Chairman,
Attahiru Jega, deserve special recognition for
what independent international observers
have deemed a largely peaceful and orderly
vote.
I commend INEC for its extensive efforts to
increase the credibility and transparency of
the electoral process. Looking ahead to the
gubernatorial elections on April 11, it is
imperative that national attention turn to
ensuring isolated logistical challenges are
overcome and peace is protected, even in
the most hotly contested races. On behalf of
the American people, I extend
congratulations to the people of Nigeria and
to President-Elect Buhari and look forward to
continuing to work with the newly-elected
government on our many shared priorities.
