State House press statement below..
With the 2015 presidential elections now concluded
and the country preparing for the inauguration of a new
administration on May 29, President Goodluck
Jonathan believes that it is appropriate that steps be
taken to restore the environment in Nigerian cities,
towns and villages to their pre-elections campaign
state.
Accordingly, President Jonathan directs that the PDP
Presidential Campaign Organisation and the various
associations that coalesced into the Jonathan/Sambo Support
Group immediately begin the process of removing the posters,
billboards, banners, signs and other campaign materials in
support of his re-election bid which still adorn the landscape
in major cities across the country.
The President thanks all individuals and organisations who
made sincere contributions and worked with immense
dedication for the Jonathan/ Sambo Campaign. He applauds
his supporters and other Nigerians for the disciplined, patriotic
and democratic manner in which they comported themselves
before, during and after the elections.
Now that the elections are over except for re-runs in a few
states, President Jonathan urges Nigerians to put the recent
political campaigns behind them and join hands with the
incoming administration in working for a more united,
peaceful, stable and progressive nation.
