Jonathan actually won that election becausr card readers failed in many parts of his stronghold while Jega's INEC allowed child voters, illegal migrants from niger and chad to vote without card readers in buhari's stronghold in the north. We all know what happened, and how our yoruba media refused to report all these anomaly because we yorubas hated the way GEJ embraced the East as a father for all. GEJ simply wanted no bloodshed unlike the papa of Monkeys and baboons (PMB)


The current INEC is also planning to adopt same rigging measures, they are going to ensure card readers fail in PDP strongholds while immigrants from niger, sudan, chad without PVCs and underaged voters will be given a field day in buhari Jibril's stronghold.

So touching... Can't stop respecting this man.

If had refused, the election would have been cancelled in some areas and rescheduled. There will be revolt, the North will go gaga and part of the West. Southeast and South south will be calm but will later retialate.
Some will be for and others against. The military will move in and to queel the riots,possibly a take over. Boko Haram will have a field day, Niger delta militants will take advantage of the commotion to grind the oil sector to a standstill,biafra agitators will step in forming a sepratist movement. It would have been total chaos and the genocide would have been unprecedented. The international community will step into the confusion,they also will be overwhelmed cos it won't be about election again but division of the country.
Millions will die cos Nigeria will become YUGOSLAVIA... War with different faces!!!

Thank you GEJ for not allowing your ambition come before the people.

What man of peace? When you lose an election you are supposed to concede. What other alternative did he have which would not have resulted in violence?
My only surprise is that some people actually advised him not to concede!

Someone ain't telling the truth

AnyoneButAtiku:


But Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Mohammed Bello Adoke have a different recollection of events sir

Okojo-Iwela offers the following insight



And this is corroborated by both Segun Adeniyi and Mohammed Bello Adoke

Martartins:
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.

IamD18:
You did what you are suppose to do. Nothing special.

We should stop celebrating bullshiiiiit in this country.

Stop side tracking. Those different views if anything showed similarities. The point was that he was contemplating a mist the different alternative views and had not come to a definite cinclusion. In the end those were his advicers and nothing more. He was the general and commander in chief. The final call still rest with him and his heart. If he had made a wrong call you would have criticisms him. He made the right one so please give him his credits. You all hate to give him credit.

But I say he is the most credit worthy president since independence.

The book records the last-minute intrigues and political manoeuvres that defined his last moments with top aides and ministers in the Presidential Villa and the relief he felt after he congratulated President Buhari in a telephone conversation.

Jonathan said he rebuffed 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.”

Afamed:

Are you reading from another book previously written by GEJ?

Corrinthians:
Stick to topic.

Between the ineffectual buffoon and madam headress, who is lying?

His barely disguised attempt to revise history may sit well with those who have poor comprehension skills, but it does not fly with me

Are you even aware that but for Adoke's refusal to disqualify Buhari from running in the first place, in defiance of Jonathan's initial request, Nigeria might have been pushed to the precipice.

Because on the streets out here Nigerians are fed up with APC lies and the president's total unawareness and insensisitivity to many national issues.

Nigerians have also realised that the corruption fight is a scam cos we have fallen about 12 places in corruption rankings since 2016.

Forget what you see on NL, PMB has very very few supporters on ground.

Cheers.

Adakintroy:



Revise what history. You are so distant from reality and lack knowledge of how the world works. Someone that made history himself. And has been recognising by the world already. Now a vanguard for democracy and good governance all over the africa. You are talking like we are still at the negotiating state.

He just wrote his book to give you a clearer perspective. Weather it sit with you or not is irrelevant. With your kind, your mind is already position for hate and praise for buhari. If he had rejected the result you would have said one thing, he accepted and you are still finding holes.

I have vowed not to criticisee buhari. I just want to see how he will manage the democracy handed over to him in one piece. This will he the real test. I know he is a vain ambitious man, masquerading like a national patriots. But let him act it out by himself.
