’2015 elections won’t divide Nigeria’ – Jonathan promises to continue providing Nigerians with free and fair polls

President Goodluck Jonathan has insisted that despite what naysayers and dooms day prophets have said about the state of the Nation in 2015, the country would not disintegrate. Speaking during the opening of a conference hosted by the Interfaith Initiative For Peace in Abuja, President Jonathan said the opinion of the few on social media could not be more than the majority of Nigerians. The President said Nigeria would not disintegrate as his administration would continue to provide Nigerians with transparent, free and fair elections. He said, “Despite the fact that we have survived the civil war and continue to evolve as one nation with one destiny, we have among ourselves those who continue to define us and put it that we as Nigerians cannot live together. “As the 2015 elections draw near, the doom’s day sayers are out and predicting how Nigeria is going to catch fire next year. In the opinion of some so-called experts, our ethnic and religious differences is bound to boil over. They portray us doomed to fail. “But I can say categorically that Nigeria will not disintegrate, we will not fail. We will surely get over our challenges and become even a stronger nation. “If you spend a lot of time on the Internet, the social media, you will be attempted to think along the same line. In a country of over 170 million people, the opinion of very few is now being elevated above that of over 100 million Nigerians.”
