President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigerians to exercise patience as they wait for the Independent National Electoral Commission to collate and announce results of Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections. Jonathan, however, advised Nigerians to wait patiently for the results the same way they waited to vote on Saturday. He urged them not to embark on any acts that could lead to breakdown of law and order. The President who made the call in a post on his Facebook page, wrote:
“We waited patiently to vote in these elections, now I want to urge all Nigerians to also wait patiently for the Independent National Electoral Commission to collate and announce results.
“We must ensure that we do not get involved in acts that breach our peaceful co-existence that we patriotically demonstrated during the elections.
“May God bless Nigeria.”
