This man wrote his own book to cast blames on people.
He never learns from his mistake and apologize to Nigerians for ruining the nation.

What a buffoon that he is.

God save u didn’t listen to those bad people around u. Your own would have been worst than Samuel doe. shocked

Some comments deserve slap sha. You won't know what it means for a black man to leave his sit after tasting power. Go to Cameroon, Zimbabwe and a host of other countries and see how 80+ years old are still fighting to remain in power. In fact, they have made sure they eliminate any opposition and you say we shouldn't celebrate Jonathan.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has revealed how he was advised against accepting defeat in the 2015 presidential election.

Jonathan also declared that the election was marred with some irregularities, including the difficulty he faced before he could vote in his native Otuoke, Bayelsa State home.

The ex-president said he conceded defeat principally because it was his belief that his ambition should not lead to loss of lives and property as it was the case in previous elections.

The revelations are contained in the former President’s book, “My Transition Hours”, which was presented in Abuja yesterday on his 61st birthday.

Jonathan said he turned down the advice by the then Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; Attorney-General of the Federation and Justice Minister Mohammed Bello Adoke; Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka, who was a compere at the book launch; and his Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs, Warpamowei Dudafa.

He writes: “They were recommending sundry alternatives, but I was quiet in the midst of their discussions. I hugged my thought, figuring out how to do that which was best for the country. My personal interest was receding rapidly and the interest of Nigeria looming large. I excused myself and left the sitting room. I walked into my study. Even there, my mantra was a strong circle around me, supporting and comforting me. Let the country survive. Let democracy survive. My political ambition is not worth people being ‘soaked in blood’.”


On how and why he called to concede victory to Buhari, he wrote: “More results flowed in and I could not wait anymore. The announcement of the final result could take issues out of all our hands. It was time for me to take action and bring peace to the nation. I felt I was destined by God at that point in time to inject the peace serum and douse the palpable tension in the country.

“I reached out for his telephone and placed a call through the State House operators at about 4:45pm. A peace I had never felt since my political sojourn descended on me. It showed me where I had been in the past sixteen years and where I was then. I smiled at the thought of what I was about to do. I waited calmly for the person at the end of my call to answer.

“My Aviation Minister, Osita Chidoka, sought my permission to tweet my phone conversation with Buhari. I obliged and he did. The country was no longer waiting for the declaration of the election results. The nationwide tension automatically dissipated as through a red hot piece of iron had been dipped in a bowl of water. Thereafter, I addressed the nation.”

I hope buhari will reciprocate the same gesture when he is voted out in 2019, because with the character of buhari he would even left the country burn to ashes than relieving power of his opponent when defeated comes 2019.

Common, stop showing your mediocrity. Not that ita not what its expected of him but the boldness to go through with. when you are a leader with so much power, its very hard to let go. Thats why people like Tinubu, Akpabio, Oshiomole, Rochas and the likes, even Buhari are fighting and manipulating to hold on to power.

So give respect to whom its due and stop displaying your ignorance.

He was sure the game was over. He did concede because he was cheated but had no option because he lost and if not gbagbo’s fate would have been his too....our politicians should stop writing rubbish.

He should tell us about the looting and how he used Obanikoro and Dasuki and finance minister NOI to steal billions of $
