From experience it is not unusual that a few details may get mixed up in the heat of the moment leading up to an event. So a little error here and there should be expected.

In fact, no mix ups at all will probably imply a concocted story passed to all actors for agreement.

Yawns cheesy

With respect to the embolden statements in your post; I must ask if you know how many national elections Obasanjo, who pursued a third term agenda at great expense, has monitored in Africa and beyond?

Moving on swiftly...who cares if you criticise Buhari? Do you think everyone else is a binary thinker like you?

As for your retort about having a better understanding of the how the world works, all I will say is: Nairaland is a leveler. grin

So you know nairaland is a leveler see your head. How about Nigeria is a leveler or the world is a leverler. Don't even throw more punny darts. Mr. Everyone else lack comprehension except you.

If he had manned the force service arms well, there would have been no need to fear for impending violence.
Guess what - No other political leader in Nigeria would have accepted that defeat except his boss "Yaradua".

For anyone thinking that PMB can loose election in Nigeria - You better wake up (He won't even give any Idiot chance to win talk less of accepting Electoral outcome.

Any tribe that is smart would rather focus on negotiating binding political future for themselves rather than run around with one scoundrel called Atiku.

I wish Jonathan came out successful but at the moment - Atiku is not even a possibility for a better Nigeria

Please don't argue here, it won't change anything

Nigerians must decide now if we want a free and fair elections.

If we want a free and fair elections, then a neutral Nigerian NOT Buhari's blood cousin should be CHAIRMAN OF INEC.

TROOPS & MILITARY UNITS must NEVER enter Polling stations or vote collation centers.

Their job is security and not collude with INEC officials falsifying results

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.


Oga/Madam nothing n I repeat nothing would have happen,by now he would have been rounding up is 2nd term.

It takes a lot of courage for GEJ to have done what he did to concede election defeat in 2015 despite the power of incumbency he had and all pressures from his political associates.

Goodluck Jonathan did the right thing in Conceding Defeat, I wonder why some people feel it is the wrong thing to do after a time when Buhari was clearly leading.
Re: Jonathan Reveals Those Who Advised Him Not To Concede Defeat To Buhari In 2015 by Nobody: 2:32pm On Nov 21, 2018
I cried after reading this !
Gistpeeps:


Former President Goodluck Jonathan has revealed how he was advised against accepting defeat in the 2015 presidential election.

Jonathan also declared that the election was marred with some irregularities, including the difficulty he faced before he could vote in his native Otuoke, Bayelsa State home.

The ex-president said he conceded defeat principally because it was his belief that his ambition should not lead to loss of lives and property as it was the case in previous elections.

The revelations are contained in the former President’s book, “My Transition Hours”, which was presented in Abuja yesterday on his 61st birthday.

Jonathan said he turned down 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’.”


On how and why he called to concede victory to Buhari, he wrote: “More results flowed in and I could not wait anymore. The announcement of the final result could take issues out of all our hands. It was time for me to take action and bring peace to the nation. I felt I was destined by God at that point in time to inject the peace serum and douse the palpable tension in the country.

“I reached out for his telephone and placed a call through the State House operators at about 4:45pm. A peace I had never felt since my political sojourn descended on me. It showed me where I had been in the past sixteen years and where I was then. I smiled at the thought of what I was about to do. I waited calmly for the person at the end of my call to answer.

“My Aviation Minister, Osita Chidoka, sought my permission to tweet my phone conversation with Buhari. I obliged and he did. The country was no longer waiting for the declaration of the election results. The nationwide tension automatically dissipated as through a red hot piece of iron had been dipped in a bowl of water. Thereafter, I addressed the nation.”
