President Muhammadu Buhari has said he was shocked that former President Goodluck Jonathan conceded defeat so easily after the March 2015 presidential election. Speaking while hosting State House correspondents to a lunch at the Presidential Villa, Abuja as part of activities marking his one year in office, Buhari said, “This is where I pay my respect to former President Goodluck Jonathan. This is actually privileged information for you. He called me at a quarter past five in the evening. He said, ‘Good evening Your Excellency Sir’ and I said, ‘Good evening.’ He said, ‘I have called to congratulate you that I have conceded defeat.’ Of course there was a dead silence on my end because I did not expect it. I was shocked. I did not expect it because after 16 years, the man was a deputy governor, governor, Vice-President and was President for six years. For him to have conceded defeat even before the result was announced by INEC, I think it was quite generous and gracious of him. Gen. Abdulsalami recognised the generosity of Jonathan to concede defeat and said we should go and thank him immediately and that was the first time I came here.”
