The Head of the European Union Observer Mission, Santiago Fisas said:
“I congratulate him (Jonathan) for that and I seized the opportunity to give to him our preliminary report about the election.
“He was very happy and of course, I will come back in July with the final statement at a press conference and to give it to the new President and our recommendations would be contained in the final report.
“The elections are so important for the people of Nigeria, but it is an African example for all Africa and countries in the world.
“You know many people didn’t expect that the elections will be peaceful, they expected a lot of violence after the elections but it turned out not to be true.
“Further more, I congratulate President Jonathan but I would like to congratulate Nigerian people because they showed a lot of commitment to that election.
“Not in all circumstances would you see such that, people stood in the sun for a very long and hot day, despite some of these problems. It shows that you Nigerians are truly democratic.” He said.
