The United Progressive Party (UPP) congratulates President Barack Obama on his victory in the United States presidential election on Tuesday 6th November 2012. This is democracy in action and worthy of emulation by Nigerians in our quest to build a strong, virile and prosperous democratic society.
The massive turnout of voters and peaceful conduct of the presidential polls despite Hurricane Sandy that struck some parts of the nation shortly before the elections reaffirmed Americans’ belief and confidence in democracy as the best form of government. By re-electing Obama the US electorate has once more proved that power belongs to the people. Obama should justify the confidence Americans reposed in his presidency and work hard to revive the country’s economy and improve US-Nigeria relationship.
