President Goodluck Jonathan has advised Nigerians to be mindful of the words they use, encouraging good and peaceable words, as the general elections were contests among brothers and sisters.
Jonathan wrote this on his official Facebook page, where he called for peaceful polls as Nigerians prepare to choose their next set of leaders.
“I want to remind us all that we have no other country other than Nigeria and as we approach the elections, it is wise that we speak good and peaceable words over Nigeria because we will have to eat our words. So let us make them sweet rather than bitter.
“We must see the coming polls as a contest amongst brothers and sisters from the womb of one Nigeria.”
Jonathan also urged political gladiators to avoid the use of threats and desperation in their campaign. He said whatever the outcome of the polls, victory should be for Nigeria and Nigerians.
The presidential election holds on March 28, after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) postponed it from the previously scheduled February 14, citing security issues.
I sincerely wish other parties thought of elections as contest among brothers.
This same brotherliness iis what Cain showed towards Abel. Politics here has no friendship. All Nigerian parties seem to be weary of one another. GEJ should too
I wont call Buhari my brother. Not even in exchange for freedom
The Presidency is committed to ensuring a peaceful and credible elections…Goodluck is Good for Nigeria…
GEJ should be very careful who he calls brother. They all have parents and are related differently.
Say NO to election Violence…..YES to GEJ Till 2019.
Say NO to election Violence…..YES to GEJ Till 2019.
Well, President GEJ we know you are a good man and you love the Notherners. But you got to be careful because you got no brother in them. They can’t be trusted. No matter how much you wash a pig, it must surely return to the swamp.
you are right MR PRESIDENT but i wish others can see you as their brother too
D way GEJ present his speech you will no that is educated not like Buhari sponsorer of Boko Haram how always talk about bloody
By their names you shall know them… Jonathan stands for peace and unity. That’s why God will not let him down. No matter the names that. People have called you, yet your victory is sure. You remain my President Jonathan. A symbol of peace and unity. I love Mr. president
The word PEACE sounds very bitter in the ears of some northerners. All they want to hear is VIOLENCE. You are true leader GEJ.
And violence they will get!no one person has monopoly of violence.if Jonathan does win this election or is poisoned which is wat C.I.A is planning then that violence will come sooner than they expect
you will live long mr president
This message is very simple and touching….Truly we have no other country to call our own…LETS NOT DESTROY HER.
i wish they see you as their own bro too

Buhari needs to take a long lecture from you, every true leader encourages peace. GEJ is president till 2019
In the election of the OAU Secretary-General in 1985, Buhari voted against Nigeria and for Niger instead. He secured the election of Ide Oumarou, a Fulani man from Niger; as opposed to an Igbo man from Nigeria. By so doing, Buhari became the first and only Head of State in the history of modern international relations to vote against his country in favour of his tribe. so GMB should go to Niger and source for his brothers and votes there.
see me as ur broda
Holy Jesus !This is shocking ! Are we sure Buhari is a Nigerian?
hope they will see u as their brother when they lose to u
Good words coming from a good leader. We will not agreed to be used as tool for their selfish political will…up GEJ

Perhaps this is an eye opener,”In the election of the OAU Secretary-General in 1985, Buhari voted against Nigeria and for Niger instead. He secured the election of Ide Oumarou, a Fulani man from Niger; as opposed to an Igbo man from Nigeria. By so doing, Buhari became the first and only Head of State in the history of modern international relations to vote against his country in favour of his tribe. so GMB should go to Niger and source for his brothers and votes there.” So can we ask mr President where exactly this his ‘Buhari brother’ stands in the face of this new fact that his’brother Buhari’may not be a Nigerian after all.
