Redemption

When he took office upon the death of his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan promised Nigerians and the world that he would give us transparent, free and fair elections in 2011. So far, Jonathan has redeemed himself. But more importantly, Nigerians have redeemed themselves. They have demonstrated their trust in the ballot box. For those losers who are crying over spilled milk, the contrast between the parliamentary elections and the presidential one is a demonstration of the level of sophistication of the Nigerian people. They did not come out on Saturday to vote for the PDP or any other party for that matter. They came out to vote for Jonathan Ebele Goodluck. .Those of us Nigerians in the Diaspora are keenly watching what President Jonathan will do with the mandate the Nigerian people have given him. Will this be the new dawn he has promised us?
