Jonathan Congratulates Kenyatta, Applauds Odinga’s Call For Calm
President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday congratulated Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta on his victory in Monday’s presidential election in Kenya as declared in Nairobi by the country’s Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
A statement by Dr. Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity noted that as Mr. Kenyatta prepares to assume office later this month as the first Kenyan President to come into office under the country’s new constitution which was adopted after the crisis that followed its 2007 elections, Jonathan urged him to rededicate himself to carrying forward the process of national healing and reconciliation.
The statement made available to LEADERSHIP reads: “President Jonathan calls on the Kenyan President-Elect to do his utmost best to foster greater peace, unity and progress in the country by forming a truly national administration that will meet the yearnings and aspirations of all Kenyans, including his opponents and their supporters.
