CNN interviews Nigerian president elect click 2 watch

Jonathan wins presidential election

Goodluck Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has won the crucial presidential election of Nigeria, which many have described as the freest election since 1999.

President Jonathan is coasting home with 24 states plus the Federal Capital Territory, FCT out of the 29 states officially declared by the Independent National electoral commission, INEC.

The president, a southerner from the minority oil rich state of Bayelsa is leading its closest rival Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, a former military head of state from the Muslim dominated north with considerable margin enough to win the presidential election.

He won all the states in the south-east, south-west, south-south and some states in the north central, while Gen Buhari cleared the polls in north-west and key states in other parts of the north.

A candidate needs absolute majority votes plus at least 25% votes cast in 24 states of the federation to be declared winner and avoid run-off.

Gen. Buhari has alleged that the election was rigged in some states but hinted that he will not challenge the results in court due to the country’s slow judicial process, but added that his party’s officials are free to go to court if they want to do so.

His words "We are getting a lot of sad information about people intercepting some printed voters cards in different parts of the country. We are concerned about the amount of election voting cards that are being thumb-printed elsewhere and were taken to some of the voting centres."

Meanwhile, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Election Observation Mission in Nigeria has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other stakeholders for ensuring a peaceful and orderly election.

In its reports the regional body states “the ECOWAS Observation Mission would like to commend the Federal Government of Nigeria and all stakeholders for ensuring a peaceful and orderly election, thus making it a historic step for the strengthening of democracy and good governance in Nigeria. Voters are also urged to maintain their high sense of responsibility and tolerance during the remaining election period.”

Love the article on Gaddafi
We must rise above tribalism & divide & rule of the colonialist who stole & looted our treasure & planted their puppets to lord it over us..they alone can decide on whosoever is performing & the one that is corrupt..but the most corrupt nations are the western countries that plunder the resources of other nations & make them poorer & aid the rulers to steal & keep such ill gotten wealth in their country..yemen,syria etc have killed more than gadhafi but its not A̷̷̴ good investment for the west(this is laughable)because oil is not in these countries..when obasanjo annihilated the odi people in rivers state, they looked away because its in their favour & interest..one day!

Hello from
Johannesburg
I was amazed to find a website for Africans in Hungary.
Looks like you have quite a community there. Here in SA we have some three million Zimbabweans living in exile and not much sign of going home ... but in Hungary??? Hope to meet you on one of my trips to Europe; was in Steirmark Austria near the Hungarian border earlier this month. Every good wish for 2011. Geoff in Jo'burg

I'm impressed by
ANH work but...
Interesting interview...
I think from what have been said, the Nigerian embassy here seem to be more concern about its nationals than we are for ourselves. Our complete disregard for the laws of Hungary isn't going to help Nigeria's image or going to promote what the Embassy is trying to showcase. So if the journalists could zoom-in more focus on Nigerians living, working and studying here in Hungary than scrutinizing the embassy and its every move, i think it would be of tremendous help to the embassy serving its nationals better and create more awareness about where we live . Taking the issues of illicit drugs and forged documents as typical examples.. there are so many cases of Nigerians been involved. But i am yet to read of it in e.news. So i think if only you and your journalists could write more about it and follow up on the stories i think it will make our nationals more aware of what to expect. I wouldn't say i am not impressed with your work but you need to be more of a two way street rather than a one way street . Keep up the good work... Sylvia
