He's still going to jail for corruption. Unfortunately, we can't criminalize incompetency and cluelessness.

ok, criminals we don't need u guys to call him. just because its Nigeria, if it was a sane country u guys ambassadors (u.s.a and Britain) would have been summoned for overtly and covertly interfering in an election of a sovereign and Democratic society. only God knows the amount APC has sold this country to the west to win this election..
lastly whether we like it or not for any African country to experience rapid development, there must be a very strong and smart leader, democracy should be discarded then after attaining development we can know begin to talk of democracy.. learning from china , Singapore, Russia, even Iran, etc

Well..regardless of what an airhead like you may think, he still deserves to be praised.
He had the courage to do what other Nigerian leaders would never do.
He saved urchins like you from the impending war, we would have gone through.
If it were your illiterate general, he would have dragged the rest of the country to war.

“Jonathan’s actions to accept the results and congratulate President-elect Buhari, as well as his steps to date to ensure a successful transition, have strengthened Nigeria’s democracy and set a strong example for Africa and the world”.

From the U.S vice president and not from PDP supporters. Thank God Buhari won, we would have been experiencing war as we speak now.

Somebody refused to do it 4 years ago. 800+ people died, businesses destroyed, properties vandalized.

Someone else does it and we should not praise him?
