With the successful completion of Nigeria’s general elections, Nigeria deserves much more than a warm applaud. Indeed Nigeria has entered the history books for the first time having delivered a free, fair and credible election…
The manner in which Nigerians comported themselves throughout the electioneering period is indeed very commendable. The international communities and observes could not overlook the level of maturity displayed by Nigerians at the various polling units.
And when I heard all the nice things being said about Nigeria and Nigerians with regards to this year’s pools on BBC and other international NETWORKS, I smile and say “yes! This time we got it right”.
It is by no means an easy thing to have democratically elect leaders given the bombings and pre-elections violence that rocked the political landscape before the elections proper. For a second I felt like the success of the elections were nothing short of a ‘fluke’ but truth is it wasn’t. It is a reflection of the hard work Nigerians ready to make things right.
Jega and his team did tremendously well. Although not everybody gave him a chance, he still delivered. Of course the elections were not 100% perfect, it was good and successful making it the best elections ever in Nigeria’s history.
At this juncture, I will like to say to all elected leaders that it is our prayers that they serve selflessly and discharge their duties credibly and transparently as we all look forward to the best years of our great country Nigeria.
Lastly let me say a big congratulation to all Nigerians who came out to perform their civic duty in such an enviable manner. The Yoruba’s will say “eku ise” which means well done. Together we have made this happen and together we can build the Nigeria of our dreams.
Naija oni baje o!
Long live Nigeria, long live Nigerians…
