of the country, President Goodluck Jonathan,
Thursday has said that the peaceful nature of the
2015 general elections would surprise the world.
Jonathan stated this when members of the
diplomatic corps, some senators, ministers and
former government officials joined him for the
breaking of Ramadan fast at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja. The President also said, “I know that one
thing that is dear to your hearts is what the
elections in this country will look like next year.
“But let me use this unique opportunity to reassure
you and I am conveying this to my brothers, your
heads of government, that our elections next year
will be free and fair.
“It will be very peaceful in nature that will even
surprise the whole world.”
Jonathan said with ugly incidents globally, there
was need for constant prayers for divine
intervention. He regretted that more members of
the society were choosing the wrong path and
were being used by evil forces to wreak havoc.
“Let us take the opportunity of this season to ask
Allah to forgive them and guide them back to the
path of righteousness and holiness”.
“I request Your Excellencies and all Muslims and
Christians that, as you pray this period, especially
during the night of Majesty, we pray for peace and
security to reign throughout the world”
“Let us also pray for Allah to guide our leaders and
grant them good health and wisdom to work for
the progress of their respective countries,” the
President added.
