Former Attorney
General and Minister of Justice, Michael Aondoakaa, has hailed the
election of President Goodluck Jonathan as the best thing for Nigeria.

Mr Aondoakaa, who
seemingly did not find it pleasant with President Goodluck Jonathan
after the death of president Umar Yar’Adua, spoke with NEXT in his
residence in Ushongo Local Government Area in Benue State.

The former minister
stated that the government of Mr. Jonathan was following the policies
and programmes of his former boss since he was also part of that
administration. He believed that Mr. Jonathan would not derail.

Mr Aondoakaa
expressed the hope that the election of the President may go
unchallenged given the transparency, free and fair conduct witnessed
during the election.

According to him,
the election witnessed minimal cases of violence. He urged the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to continue to improve
on the standard.

He expressed
confidence that his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would
again emerge victorious at the remaining elections and called on the
electorate to continue to vote for the party to have a clean victory in
the next Tuesday’s polls.

While appealing to
contestants who did not win their elections to accept defeat in good
faith, he also appealed to the winners to regard their success as
victory for all Nigerians.
