READ: President Jonathan Addresses The Nation Ahead of Tomorrow's Election.

As Nigeria returns to the polls again tomorrow, I urge all registered voters to come out in mass and exercise their civic duty/civil right to vote.

I have instructed our security agents to fully facilitate the right of Nigerians to choose leaders of their choice at various state and local assembly levels by putting away devotion to a particular party or group but ensuring that we all vote in a secure environment. It is the sacrifice and mandate of our security agents to secure our nation, so we can all be confident to come out and vote our conscience all over the federation.

I urge contestants to respect the will of the people as we promote a new Nigeria that is a pacesetter and light bearer in the practice of democratic politics without bitterness.
 May God bless Nigeria.
