[color=#000033] GEJ gat no choice than to accept defeat. [/color]

[b]Dear Nairalanders, we all need to understand the concept of Greatness and Heroism. I have been reading Revisionist pieces and White-Washing of Sepulchres on several Social Media Platforms with different people calling GEJ a Hero for conceding to Buhari.

So he is now a hero because he conceded? Did he have a choice?

GEJ has played Politics with the Lives of thousands of our Countrymen for too long. History will never be kind to him. Note that He wasn't magnanimous by accepting defeat, the circumstances and factors were all against him. He didn't concede, he was compelled to. He didn't give us democracy, we demanded it and we got it. He is not a hero by any standard.

We should separate sentiments from matters of National Interest, all those who made hate speeches should be prosecuted. All those who stole our collective wealth must be jailed and made to refund the money.

Sending congratulatory messages to Buhari should not confer automatic Immunity to these Wicked Criminals.

The true Heroes are those who stood up in the rain to vote and stayed to make sure their votes count. Not GEJ who allowed impuntiy unchecked, to whom "Stealing is not corruption".

GEJ's concession of defeat is commendable, but not admirable. He must answer for embezzled funds.[/b]

*I hope and pray GMB will be the change we're yearning for.

*Whoever say GEJ doesn't deserve commendation will realize he's wrong come 2019 general election

*The UK and US should be ready to work with Buhari or just leave us alone

US President Barack Obama praised Nigerian
President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday for
conceding defeat in an election that he said showed
“Nigeria’s commitment to democratic principles.”
“President Jonathan has placed his country’s
interests first by conceding the election and
congratulating president-elect (Muhammadu)
Buhari on his victory,” Obama said in a White House
statement. Buhari won the election by 2.57 million
votes official results showed Wednesday, defeating
incumbent Jonathan in a close fought race.

“I look forward to working with President Jonathan
throughout the remainder of his term, and I thank
him for his many years of service and his
statesmanlike conduct at this critical juncture,”
Obama said. With dissatisfaction rife over insecurity
and corruption and the economy faltering as oil
revenues dive, voters turned out in force sensing an
unprecedented opportunity for change in the
weekend election.

“The last few days have shown the world the
strength of Nigeria’s commitment to democratic
principles,” Obama said. “By turning out in large
numbers and sometimes waiting all day to cast
their votes, Nigerians came together to decide the
future of their country peacefully.” After an often
bitter campaign that included highly charged rhetoric
on both sides, Buhari said he planned to meet with
Jonathan soon to plan the transition.

“I urge president-elect Buhari and President
Jonathan to repeat their calls to their supporters to
continue to respect the election outcomes, focus on
unifying the country, and together lead Nigeria
through a peaceful transition,”

Obama said. Buhari, a 72-year-old former army general who led Nigeria as a military ruler in the 1980s, said the vote had proved the country’s “belief in democracy.

” Obama also praised Nigeria’s Independent
National Election Commission (INEC) and its
chairman, which he said “deserve special
recognition for what independent international
observers have deemed a largely peaceful and
orderly vote.”

Exactly my position you just echoed. Jonathan should be made to face prosecution for criminal complicity in the death of over 15,000 citizens and the many financial crimes perpetrated under his supervision. Credit for electoral reforms should go to Jega who stood his ground and not an opportunistic Jonathan. After all, the PDP which he leads was still against the use of the Smart Card Readers as at Sunday 29th March 2015.

I am not quite sure how you reason and I strongly believe because Good-luck is a soft man, that's the reason why this comment below was made. I am not used to the functions on this site and so I may have replied in an incorrect manner of which I ask to be pardoned. I was wondering why you left out the main culprit of Nigeria's downfall IBB from the witch hunt which you seek. President Obasanjo who was not long before Jonathan ripped the country to shreds and handed over power to a hand picked man ie Yaradua who he knew was sick. There was nothing democratic about those elections. The elections between Buhari and Yaradua were rigged on a scale that makes Good-luck a saint. President Jonathan deserves credit for his actions in which he handed over power to a democratically elected government. In regards to the insurgency also known as Boko Haram, when you understand the workings of the Nigerian Army from its formation days, you will know that there is a missing gap in its service men which has led to it being weak. After Abacha died and Abdulsalami took over, he handed power to Obasanjo who in turn brought in Yaradua. When Yaradua took over, Majority of the extremely experienced servicemen where retired in an attempt to curb the possible event of a coup ever taking place. Most of those who were elevated to the vacated ranks were highly inexperienced and werent in the calibre of those who were major players in the army, i.e Danjumas, etc etc. These knew crop of officers are not men of caliber and could not deal with an insurgency the way someone like Danjuma, Bamaiyi etc would have. In an attempt to ensure a coup never takes place again, the army was unknowingly weakened. A similar example is Iraq where those seasoned generals were either killed with Sadam or forcefully retired and from current events, the new leaders are incapable of dealing with the treat of isis etc. Goodlucks reign sure had evidence of corruption, but so have many other past rulers. IBB, Abacha, and many more were crooks on a grand scale. To a certain extent, freedom of speech allowed massive exaggerations of the levels of corruption. I do think the fact that Goodluck has handed power is the greatest act of any Nigerian leader, for prior to him, no leader had handed over power to a democratically elected leader in free and fair elections.

Bros if you fail to commend GEJ for what he did that means some thing is wrong with you. If you don't have anything tangible to say it is better you don't comment. The status GEJ has risen for the decision he took is higher than being the president the next 4 years. Think man. He has been commended by top leaders and you are here criticizing him. What do you thing will happen if rejects that result? Nothing my brother. People have done it in the past.
