1. Conceding Defeat
The 2015 general elections was tension filled and packed with a lot of surprises. One great surprise was the unseating of the incumbent PDP-led administration. It was the first time in the history of the nation, to have a sitting president defeated, and so it was in March 2015 that the APC with Buhari as its front runner, defeated the Jonathan administration.
Many did not expect what followed the announcement of the poll results, as many argued that it would be difficult to see a smooth transition between opposing parties, especially in a very tensed country as Nigeria. Thus, the world watched on in anticipation of ethnic clashes, and party feuds, but nothing of such nature came to light.
One singular act many claim saved the day, and that was the point at which Goodluck Jonathan conceded defeat by calling his opponent to congratulate him.GEJ went on to give a concession speech and political analyst say Jonathan’s speech put out the flames of war. At some point, people began to term Jonathan the saviour of the time, comparing him to even to Jesus.
Some reports have it that he conceded reluctantly, and others are of the believe that making Jonathan’s concession a heroic feature is a misplaced priority. However, Jonathan said he needed to check his ambition, as the consequences of not doing so may have been dire not only for Nigeria, but for Africa.
