President Goodluck Jonathan Tuesday, said that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) should be celebrating rather than mourning the result of the March 28 presidential elction which went the way of General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressive Congress(APC) who was declared president-elect by the INEC chairman Prof. Attahiru Jega after pulling majority of votes cast.
In his statement after the announcement of the election result, Jonathan said the PDP should be rejoicing because it had in the last 16 years steered the country away from ethnic and regional politics.
He said, "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."
