Jonathan Delivers Concession Speech


President Goodluck Jonathan  released an official statement, a concession speech, after the announcement of the presidential election results.

Based on the figures on the 36 states, Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress candidate, won.
Even before the INEC gave the figures from Borno state, Jonathan called Buhari to personally congratulate him.

Here is the public message,  provided by The Nation.

“Fellow Nigerians,
“I thank you all for turning out en-masse for the March 28 General Elections.
“I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word. I have also expanded the space for Nigerians to participate in the democratic process. That is one legacy I will like to see endure.

“Although some people have expressed mixed feelings about the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), I urge those who may feel aggrieved to follow due process based on our constitution and our electoral laws, in seeking redress.
“As I have always affirmed, nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. The unity, stability and progress of our dear country is more important than anything else.
I congratulate all Nigerians for successfully going through the process of the March 28th General Elections with the commendable enthusiasm and commitment that was demonstrated nationwide.
“I also commend the Security Services for their role in ensuring that the elections were mostly peaceful and violence-free.
“To my colleagues in the PDP, I thank you for your support. Today, the PDP should be celebrating rather than mourning. We have established a legacy of democratic freedom, transparency, economic growth and free and fair elections.
“For the past 16 years, we have steered the country away from ethnic and regional politics. We created a Pan-Nigerian political party and brought home to our people the realities of economic development and social transformation.
“Through patriotism and diligence, we have built the biggest and most patriotic party in Nigerian history. We must stand together as a party and look to the future with renewed optimism.


“I thank all Nigerians once again for the great opportunity I was given to lead this country and assure you that I will continue to do my best at the helm of national affairs until the end of my tenure.
“I have conveyed my personal best wishes to General Muhammadu Buhari.
May God Almighty continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“I thank you all.

Bra With Low Leverage

4. Getting your clothes back in shape

Hence from time to time our favorite sweaters might be found in the dryer. Do not use this kind of equipment if you want to keep your knitted wear in shape. Another option is to never purchase the things you are not going to take proper care of. Instead, buy gentle washing products that cannot ruin your clothing.




5. Feeling and looking slimmer
Girls are constantly on some sort of diets. However, while trying to lose those stubborn pounds, you can use this little secret. It will help you look slimmer instantly. If you like wearing sweaters on top of shirts, then all you need to do is to put on a well-fitting tank top beneath your sweater.

6. Getting rid of deodorant stains
This nuisance happens to most of us. It is especially visible when the largest part of your wardrobe consists of dark colors. Fortunately, we’ve got an idea. Simple and effective as usual – use baby wipes to get rid of those annoying deodorant and antiperspirant stains on your clothes.


7. Jeans tucked into boots
Thick ankles is not what we girls dream of having. If your jeans are straight or boot cut you can either switch to skinny jeans or use this trick to make your legs look attractive. Non-skinny versions of jeans can be tucked into your boots. This solves a few problems at the same time. First, it becomes easier to zip up your shoes, next, you do not have any bunched up material. Finally you feel comfortable and your ankles look slim.
