President Goodluck Jonathan says the days when a few politicians hijack voters cards and other electoral materials, and manipulate the outcome of elections to their personal advantage are gone forever in Nigeria.
The President, who was speaking at an interactive meeting with Nigerian professionals in the United States, said that he remained fully committed to keeping the promise he made in 2011 that he would do everything possible to ensure that the elections in Nigeria become very free, fair and credible.
It was the second day of President Jonathan’s stay in Washington and Nigerians there have arranged to be with the President in continuation of receptions in his honour.
Captains of industry, Nigerian businessmen and their counterparts from all over America, Canada and those from Nigeria sat very warmly amongst Nigerian Government officials to listen to their President in the interactive session. Some also carried their support for him with placards reading different inscriptions.
The President cited Edo, Ondo and Ekiti States, and said that the Federal Government would take all necessary steps to ensure that no individual, group or political party is able to thwart the legitimate choice of genuine voters in Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State.
He also spoke on efforts to improve the socioeconomic status of young Nigerian women, ideas to grow in Nigeria, the problem of education, housing needs and efforts to involve diaspora developers, as well as job creation.
The President used the opportunity to commend young Nigerians who were participating in the Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, a leadership programme sponsored by the United States Government to train young African professionals in American universities, government departments and private sector.
The President invited ten young Nigerians who were setting the pace in education in America for some presidential handshake, and beyond the handshake, he gave out 100,000 dollars for them to share.
The Nigerian Ambassador to the United States, Professor Ade Adefuye, spoke well of Nigerians in diaspora. He also said that Nigeria occupies a revered position in the sight of the American Government hence the invitation for the US-Africa Summit.
