The call was as historic as it was redefining of our national political life where an incumbent with all the paraphernalia of state powers could concede victory. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan displayed an uncommon statesmanship in a continent rife with sit-tight, life presidents; and a continent where it is an anathema for incumbents to lose elections.



That phone call will be re-echoed all through times and has set a benchmark on how our political evolution in building a nation-state will be adjudged. Tomorrow, history will remember that it took a phone call for an incumbent Nigerian president to concede victory; put national interest above self-serving interest; congratulate his opponent even when he was yet to be officially declared victorious; and restore serenity to a nation entrapped in a circle of fires that inglorious cynics had condemned to oblivion.

Someone who was beating black and blue in the polls upon all his rigging efforts accepted reality and you call that heroic?

Being stuborn and not accepting defeat would have landed him in jail bu the very least. And all he looted would have been taken from him. Conceding was the only card he had left.

It is now time to clean up his mess and failures.

Stop being hypocritical.. If your god-Buhari is so much of a cultured leader, he would have conceded defeat when Jonathan beat him blue, black, green, from back, right, left and center in 2011. Rather he chose to instigate violence and made his people kill others by claiming the poll was rigged.

Buhari and all other uncultured APC politicians should learn from GEJ.
