Yes, he is symbol of democracy by accepting defeat in an election he lost simply because African leaders are not known to concede defeat especially when they're sitting president. However, Jonathan was not the first to do it.

Former United States President Jimmy Carter has described Nigeria’s former president Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, as a symbol of democracy on the African continent.
Carter, the 39th US President, said this when he received Jonathan yesterday at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum located at the Carter Centre in Atlanta.
In a statement, the two former presidents held a fruitful meeting at the carter Centre where they held wide-ranging discussion on global issues and shared views on how to promote peace, democracy and good governance in Africa and the world.

Speaking on Jonathan’s time in office, Carter said: “President Jonathan is the symbol of democracy in action. You set an example that other African leaders should follow.”

The former American president further praised Jonathan for organising a transparent election and easily conceded defeat by handing over to the opposition, stressing that by doing so, Jonathan showed his deep democratic commitment.

In his remarks, Jonathan stated that his actions while in office were informed by his belief in a peaceful, transparent and people-oriented governance, adding that Africa can only move forward through democracy and good governance.

Jonathan also commended President Carter for the exemplary manner he led in his post-presidential life, adding that he was inspired by Carter’s commitment to causes which advance the path of humanity.

The statement said Jonathan and Carter shared a common experience as one term presidents and have both retired involuntarily from politics while rededicating their lives towards making the world a better place.

I agree with you dude

But can Buhari do the same?

He lost elections several times and yet did not accept defeats that were obvious..

That's the difference between him and GEJ

Both Jimmy carter and Jonathan were one-tenure presidents and lost in their second tenure because they were bad performers. Who knows Carter in US achievements. What did Jonathan do in nigeria to earn re-election ? Nothing but outrageous looting of public funds along with those he gives free hands to steal because he fears them. A commander-in-chief afraid of his own people? Rubbish . Had he refused to concede defeat he would have been dead or in prison by now. So he loves his life and that of his family that's why he accepted defeat. He didn't want to behave like orubebe who didn't succeed to stop Jega from completing result announcement. He didn't want to die like African leaders that refused to concede defeat and were captured and killed.
