A former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Adamu Mu’azu, has revealed that former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, came under intense pressure to reverse his position after conceding defeat to the then candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari, in the 2015 election.

The position of Mu’azu was made known on Thursday at the launch of a book: “On a Platter of Gold: How Jonathan won and lost Nigeria,” written by a former Minister of Sports in the Jonathan Administration, Bolaji Abdullahi, but now the National Publicity Secretary of the APC.

It will be recalled that Jonathan, the candidate of the PDP, before the conclusion of the announcement of the outcome of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission conceded defeat to Buhari.

But Mu’azu said he came under intense pressure from different friends and associates not to give up power.
Mu’azu’s position was revealed by the Publisher of Ovation magazine, Dele Momodu, who said he spoke with him.
Momodu said during his meeting with Mu’azu, he related how Jonathan almost changed his mind to concede defeat to Buhari.

He said: “l have also read accounts of how President Goodluck Jonathan nearly changed his mind after congratulating the winner and wanted to use PDP operatives and apparatus to challenge the authenticity and validity of the election results in the courts, but the PDP Chairman, Alhaji Ahmed Adamu Mu’azu, blatantly refused to support such a move.

“When we spoke last week, he confirmed it was a true account of what happened and said President Jonathan was under intense pressure from different friends and associates not to give up power.
“He insists that his decision was to save his flag bearer from agents of chaos and save Nigeria from even bigger and unnecessary catastrophe.”
